Lightning Charge

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 226. Its base value is 356699.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 134, which the datamine does not name.
  3. Effect 3 is effect type 140, which the datamine does not name. It triggers spell id 357690.

What it does

Lightning Charge is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura. It stacks up to 5 times.

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.
