Ball Lightning

Tooltip

Reo'kah creates 3 balls of lightning that radiate out from him. Touching a ball inflicts Nature damage and stuns the target for 3 sec.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 6.1324.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.

What it does

Ball Lightning is a Nature spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it deals Nature damage (base value 6.1324) and applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the stunned mechanic.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the current retail game build. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
