Tooltip

Burns an enemy for 125 damage, then prevents it from spellcasting for 9 sec. and inflicts an additional 30 Fire damage every 3 sec.

How it works

Each cast of Searing Flames costs 185 Mana. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 1.

Searing Flames is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 70. Its base value is 30 per tick. It scales with 0.1 times spell power. It ticks every 3 sec, 3 times over the full 9 sec (90 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 125.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 27.

What it does

Searing Flames is a Fire spell with a 2 sec cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 9 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 3 sec, deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 125) and applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the silenced mechanic.

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.
