Tooltip

Hurls a fiery ball that causes 32 Fire damage and an additional 3 Fire damage over 6 sec.

How it works

Each cast of Fireball costs 45 Mana. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 32. It scales with 0.571 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 1 per tick. It ticks every 2 sec, 3 times over the full 6 sec (3 base in total).

What it does

Fireball is a Fire spell with a 2 sec cast, a range of 35 yards and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 32) and applies an aura every 2 sec.

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.
