How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 6938. 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 3500 per tick. Its area radius is 5 yards. It ticks every 2 sec, 4 times over the full 8 sec (14000 base in total).

What it does

Flamestrike is a Fire spell with a 2 sec cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 6938) in a 5 yard radius and leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in a 5 yard radius every 2 sec.
