Which spells can activate Searing Dagger in WoW Forever?

Start with the spell description

In official World of Warcraft: Forever, the November 6 fix means Searing Dagger can only activate from spells with a damage component. Suppose you used a spell that only restores health. If its description has no damage, that spell falls outside the rule.

Read both parts of the description if the spell does more than one thing. A spell may restore health and still include damage. For this comparison, put it with the spells that have damage, even if you usually use it to recover health.

Damage is the first check. The note gives no activation chance and doesn’t say the dagger will react every time. One cast with no reaction gives you little to go on.

Change one thing at a time

If you want to compare, keep the same dagger and try the spells separately. Read both descriptions first: one should include damage, the other should have none. Write down the spell names and what happened after each cast. If the dagger seems to react to a spell without damage, you can point to the exact spell instead of trying to remember everything you used in the fight.
