How it works

Lightning Breath is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 61, which the datamine does not name.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.
  3. Effect 3 is effect type 165, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 50.

What it does

Lightning Breath is a Nature spell with a 2 sec cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it applies an aura.

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.
