Calls down a pillar of flame, burning all enemies in a selected area and inflicting additional damage every 2 sec. for 8 sec.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 342. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 5 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 72 per tick. It scales with 0.1 times spell power. Its area radius is 5 yards. It ticks every 2 sec, 4 times over the full 8 sec (288 base in total).

What it does

Flamestrike is a Fire spell with a 2.5 sec cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 342) in a 5 yard radius and leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in a 5 yard radius 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.
