MageTooltip
Hurls a fiery ball that causes 255 to 335 Fire damage and an additional 32 Fire damage over 8 sec.
How it works
Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.
Fireball is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:
- Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 255. It scales with 1 times spell power.
- Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 8 per tick. It ticks every 2 sec, 4 times over the full 8 sec (32 base in total).
What it does
Fireball is a Fire spell with a 3.5 sec cast, a range of 35 yards and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 255) and applies an aura every 2 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.
