Inflicts Fire damage in a cone in front of the caster and additional Fire damage every 1.5 sec for 6 sec.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 300. Its area radius is 15 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 45 per tick. Its area radius is 15 yards. It ticks every 1.5 sec, 4 times over the full 6 sec (180 base in total).

What it does

Torch is a Fire spell with a 2 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 2 sec cooldown and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 300) in a 15 yard radius and applies an aura in a 15 yard radius every 1.5 sec.

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.
