Scorched Earth

How it works

It works on charges (charge category 1152); the charge count and recharge time live in a client table the datamine does not carry, so they are not stated here. It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

  1. Effect 1 is Trigger Missile (effect type 32). Its area radius is 8 yards. It triggers Scorched Earth.

What it does

Scorched Earth is a spell with an instant cast and a range of 150 yards. When cast it launches a missile in an 8 yard radius. It also casts Scorched Earth (record #294904).

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the current retail game build. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
