How it works

Each cast of Scorch costs 50 Mana. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 51. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Improved Scorch.

What it does

Scorch is a Fire spell with a 1.5 sec cast and a range of 30 yards. When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 51). It also casts Improved Scorch. It stacks up to 5 times.

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.
