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.

Scorched Earth is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 15 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Scorched Earth.

What it does

Scorched Earth is a spell with an instant cast and a range of 150 yards. It also casts Scorched Earth (record #296375).

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.
