How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3).
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 50. Its area radius is 40 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. It applies the stunned mechanic. Its area radius is 40 yards.

What it does

Lightning Breath is a Nature spell with a 4 sec cast, a range of 60 yards and effects that last 12 sec. When cast it deals Nature damage (base value 50) in a 40 yard radius and applies an aura with the stunned mechanic in a 40 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.
