How it works

Spells that share its cooldown category wait 1.5 sec after it is cast. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Lightning Rush is built from 7 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 226. It ticks every 1 sec, 5 times over the full 5 sec.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 524. Its base value is 80.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 520. Its base value is 15.
  4. Effect 4 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 521. Its base value is 25.
  5. Effect 5 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 522. Its base value is 25.
  6. Effect 6 is effect type 203, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Static Charge.
  7. Effect 7 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 10.

What it does

Lightning Rush is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 30 sec cooldown and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec and applies an aura. It also casts Static Charge. It stacks up to 10 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.
