How it works

Lightning Strike is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 35. Its area radius is 4 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. It applies the stunned mechanic. Its area radius is 4 yards.

What it does

Lightning Strike is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 200 yards and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it deals Nature damage (base value 35) in a 4 yard radius and applies an aura with the stunned mechanic in a 4 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.
