How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 5 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 129, which the datamine does not name. It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 38850 per tick. Its area radius is 6 yards. It ticks every 1 sec, 30 times over the full 30 sec (1.1655e+06 base in total).

What it does

Lightning Breath is a Nature spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 30 sec.

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.
