How it works

Each cast of Sunfire costs 40 Energy. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 1.

Sunfire 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 65 per tick. It ticks every 3 sec, 4 times over the full 12 sec (260 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 141.
  3. Effect 3 is Energize (effect type 30). Its base value is 1.

What it does

Sunfire is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 12 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 3 sec, deals Nature damage (base value 141) and restores a resource (base value 1).

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.
