Inflicts 148 to 172 Fire damage to enemies in a cone in front of the caster.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 148. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 12 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 54. Its base value is -35. Its area radius is 12 yards.

What it does

Heat Wave is a Fire spell with a 3 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 148) in a 12 yard radius and applies an aura in a 12 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.
