How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 1.5 sec. It triggers Forked Lightning.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -50.

What it does

Forked Lightning is a spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura every 1.5 sec and applies an aura. It also casts Forked Lightning (record #73547).

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.
