Arcing Lightning

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

Arcing Lightning is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 164, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 136192. Its area radius is 20 yards. It triggers Lightning Storm.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 77, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 136193. Its area radius is 10 yards.

What it does

Arcing Lightning is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 6 yards and a 3 sec cooldown. It also casts Lightning Storm.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70631. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
