How it works

Burn 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 100 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 60 times over the full 1 min (6000 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 1 sec, 60 times over the full 1 min. It triggers Burn.

What it does

Burn is a Fire spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 1 min. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec. It also casts Burn (record #45151).

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Wrath of the Lich King client, build 3.80.2.69874. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
