Multiple applications may overlap.

How it works

It works on charges (charge category 2458); the charge count and recharge time live in a client table the datamine does not carry, so they are not stated here. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). It scales with 1.8362 times attack power. Its area radius is 8 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 6.

What it does

Crash Lightning is a Nature spell with an instant cast and a range of 5 yards. When cast it deals Nature damage in an 8 yard radius.

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.
