A discharge of electrical energy deals 250000 Nature damage to enemies caught within its path, stunning them.

How it works

Lightning Charge is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 250000. It applies the stunned mechanic.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. It applies the stunned mechanic.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It applies the stunned mechanic. It ticks every 0.5 sec, 6 times over the full 3 sec. It triggers Lightning Charge.

What it does

Lightning Charge is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 20 yards and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it deals Nature damage (base value 250000) with the stunned mechanic, applies an aura with the stunned mechanic and applies an aura with the stunned mechanic every 0.5 sec. It also casts Lightning Charge (record #121689).

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70531. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
