Tooltip

Releases electricity into the surrounding water, dealing Nature damage and stunning the target for 2 sec.

How it works

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

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 100. Its area radius is 8 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. Its area radius is 8 yards.

What it does

Lightning Discharge is a Nature spell with a 2.5 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 3 sec cooldown and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it deals Nature damage (base value 100) in an 8 yard radius and applies an aura in an 8 yard radius.

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.
