Thunderstorm

Tooltip

Calls down a bolt of lightning, damaging nearby enemies within 10 yards. Deals 94 to 106 Nature damage to all nearby enemies, knocking them back and destroying the Chained Thunder.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 94. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Instakill (effect type 1).
  3. Effect 3 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 60. Its area radius is 10 yards.

What it does

Thunderstorm is a Nature spell with a 4 sec cast and a range of 8 yards. When cast it deals Nature damage (base value 94) in a 10 yard radius, kills the target outright and has a Knock Back effect in a 10 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.
