Hurls a fiery ball that causes 3570 to 4830 Fire damage and an additional 1800 Fire damage over 6 sec.

How it works

Each cast of Fireball costs 90 Mana. Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 3570. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 900 per tick. It ticks every 3 sec, 2 times over the full 6 sec (1800 base in total).

What it does

Fireball is a Fire spell with a 3 sec cast, a range of 35 yards and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 3570) and applies an aura every 3 sec.

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.
