Dragon's Breath

Tooltip

Sets an enemy aflame, inflicting 6000 Fire damage over 6 sec. and sending it into a state of panic. While the target is affected, the flames periodically scorch its nearby allies for 1000 damage as well.

How it works

Dragon's Breath is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 226. Its base value is 2000 per tick. It ticks every 2 sec, 3 times over the full 6 sec (6000 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 5. Its base value is 1. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 1 sec, 6 times over the full 6 sec. It triggers Dragon's Breath.

What it does

Dragon's Breath is a Fire spell with an instant cast, a range of 50 yards and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 2 sec, applies an aura and applies an aura every 1 sec. It also casts Dragon's Breath (record #29965).

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.
