Lightning Strike

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 135.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.

What it does

Lightning Strike is a Nature spell with an instant cast and a range of 5 yards. When cast it deals Nature damage (base value 135) and applies an aura.

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.
