How it works

Scorching Blast is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 8 per tick. It ticks every 1.5 sec, 10 times over the full 15 sec (80 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 260.

What it does

Scorching Blast is a Fire spell with an instant cast, a range of 300 yards and effects that last 15 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1.5 sec and applies an aura.
