Triggers a burst of Light on the target, dealing (216% of Spell Power) Holy damage to an enemy, or (1117% of Spell Power) healing to an ally. Has an additional 10% critical strike chance.

Generates 1 Holy Power.

How it works

It works on charges (charge category 2179); 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.

Holy Shock is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 20.
  2. Effect 2 is Energize (effect type 30). Its base value is 1.

What it does

Holy Shock is a Holy spell with an instant cast and a range of 40 yards. When cast it restores a resource (base value 1).

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.
