How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 350. It scales with 0.857 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 80. Its base value is -20.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 108. Its base value is 20.

What it does

Balefire Bolt is a Fire, Frost and Arcane spell with a 2.5 sec cast, a range of 35 yards and effects that last 30 sec. When cast it deals Fire, Frost and Arcane damage (base value 350) and applies an aura. It stacks up to 5 times.

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.
