Tooltip

Exposes all hidden and invisible enemies within 10 yards of the targeted area for 30 sec.

How it works

Each cast of Flare costs 50 Mana. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 10 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Create Area Effect (effect type 179). Its area radius is 10 yards.

What it does

Flare is an Arcane spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards, a 15 sec cooldown and effects that last 30 sec. When cast it has a Create Area Effect effect 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.
