Chaos Bolt has a chance to strike an additional enemy within 30 yards.

How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). It scales with 1.4 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 20.
  3. Effect 3 is effect type 137, which the datamine does not name.

What it does

Chaos Bolt is a Fire, Nature, Frost, Shadow and Arcane spell with an instant cast and an unlimited range. When cast it deals Fire, Nature, Frost, Shadow and Arcane damage.

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.
