Inflicts Fire damage to an enemy.

How it works

Each cast of Fireball costs 90 Mana. 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 600. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 50 per tick. It scales with 1 times spell power. It ticks every 3 sec, 3 times over the full 9 sec (150 base in total).

What it does

Fireball is a Fire spell with a 0.5 sec cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 9 sec. When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 600) and applies an aura every 3 sec. It stacks up to 10 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.
