Inferno

Tooltip

Surrounds the caster with an inferno that periodically inflicts Fire damage to nearby enemies for 8 sec. While the caster is aflame, he cannot move or use his abilities.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. Its base value is 1000 per tick. It scales with 1 times spell power. It ticks every 1 sec, 8 times over the full 8 sec (8000 base in total). It triggers Inferno Dummy Effect.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 26. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 25. It scales with 1 times spell power.

What it does

Inferno is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec and applies an aura. It also casts Inferno Dummy 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.
