Lightning Cloud

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

  1. Effect 1 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). Its area radius is 5 yards.

What it does

Lightning Cloud is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards, a 40 sec cooldown and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in a 5 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.
