Searing Flames

Tooltip

Burns an enemy for 116 damage, then prevents it from spellcasting for 9 sec. and inflicts an additional 10 Fire damage every 3 sec.

How it works

Each cast of Searing Flames costs 185 Mana. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 10 per tick. It scales with 0.1 times spell power. It ticks every 3 sec, 3 times over the full 9 sec (30 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 116. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 27.

What it does

Searing Flames is a Fire spell with a 2 sec cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 9 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 3 sec, deals Fire damage (base value 116) and applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the silenced mechanic.

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.
