Inflicts 1.94324 Fire damage every 1 sec. to enemies caught in the area.

How it works

Torch 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 1.9432 per tick. Its area radius is 10 yards. It ticks every 1 sec, 8 times over the full 8 sec (15.55 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. It applies the stunned mechanic. Its area radius is 10 yards.

What it does

Torch is a Fire spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 10 yard radius every 1 sec and applies an aura with the stunned mechanic in a 10 yard radius. The client files the whole spell under the stunned 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.
