Hellfire

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 1800. Its area radius is 5 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 1 sec, 5 times over the full 5 sec. It triggers Hellfire.

What it does

Hellfire is a Fire spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 1800) in a 5 yard radius and applies an aura every 1 sec. It also casts Hellfire (record #43465).

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Burning Crusade client, build 2.5.6.70006. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.

Multiple client spell records exist

The game client stores 38 separate Spell records named "Hellfire". This page is record #43438. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page. The 12 records closest by id are compared here.
