Rain of Fire

Tooltip

Calls down a molten rain, burning all enemies in a selected area for 1000 Fire damage every 2 sec. for 6 sec.

How it works

Rain of Fire is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 1000 per tick. Its area radius is 10 yards. It ticks every 2 sec, 3 times over the full 6 sec (3000 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 1000.

What it does

Rain of Fire is a Fire spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in a 10 yard radius every 2 sec and deals Fire damage (base value 1000).

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.
