How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Lightning Storm is built from 5 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 29250 per tick. Its area radius is 500 yards. It ticks every 1 sec, 30 times over the full 30 sec (877500 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. Its area radius is 500 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 42. Its area radius is 500 yards.
  4. Effect 4 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 26. Its area radius is 500 yards.
  5. Effect 5 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 301. Its area radius is 500 yards.

What it does
