Burning Winds

Tooltip

Stuns an enemy and inflicts 1600 Fire damage over 8 sec.

How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 200 per tick. It scales with 1 times spell power. It ticks every 1 sec, 8 times over the full 8 sec (1600 base in total).

What it does

Burning Winds is a Fire spell with a 1 sec cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it applies an aura and applies an aura every 1 sec. The client files the whole spell under the stunned mechanic.

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.
