Inflicts Fire damage every 1 sec for 3 sec.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 75 per tick. Its area radius is 6 yards. It ticks every 1 sec, 3 times over the full 3 sec (225 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 75. Its area radius is 2 yards.

What it does

Burn is a Fire spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in a 6 yard radius every 1 sec and deals Fire damage (base value 75) in a 2 yard radius.

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.
