How it works

Each cast of Steam Blast costs 120 Mana. Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 2625. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 15 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 47. Its area radius is 15 yards.

What it does

Steam Blast is a Fire spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 2625) in a 15 yard radius and has a Knock Back effect in a 15 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.
