Tooltip

Creates a swirling maelstrom of lightning that meanders near the caster. Touching the maelstrom inflicts Nature damage, and knocks the target into the air.

How it works

Gathering Storm is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 12.2648.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 200.

What it does

Gathering Storm is a Nature spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it deals Nature damage (base value 12.2648) and has a Knock Back effect.

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.
