Inferno

Tooltip

Surrounds the caster with an inferno that periodically inflicts Fire damage to nearby enemies for 8 sec. While the caster is aflame, he cannot move or use his abilities.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Inferno is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. Its base value is 1500 per tick. It scales with 1 times spell power. It ticks every 1 sec, 8 times over the full 8 sec (12000 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 26. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 25. It scales with 1 times spell power.

What it does

Inferno is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec and applies an aura.

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.
