How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 142500. 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 Strike is a Nature spell with a 2.5 sec cast, a range of 35 yards and effects that last 4 sec. When cast it deals Nature damage (base value 142500) 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.
