Arcane Burst

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 4500. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 200. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -70. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 10 yards.

What it does

Arcane Burst is an Arcane spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it deals Arcane damage (base value 4500) in a 10 yard radius, has a Knock Back effect in a 10 yard radius and applies an aura in a 10 yard radius.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the WoW Forever beta client, build 1.60.1.70532. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
