Hellfire

Tooltip

Ignites the area surrounding the caster, causing 82 Fire damage to himself and 82 Fire damage to all nearby enemies every 1 sec. Lasts 15 sec.

How it works

Each cast of Hellfire costs 645 Mana. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It scales with 1 times spell power. It ticks every 1 sec, 15 times over the full 15 sec. It triggers Hellfire Effect.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 82 per tick. It scales with 0.022 times spell power. It ticks every 1 sec, 15 times over the full 15 sec (1230 base in total).
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 77. Its base value is 100. It scales with 1 times spell power.

What it does

Hellfire is a Fire spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 15 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec and applies an aura. It also casts Hellfire Effect.

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.
