Lightning Strike

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 180.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.

What it does

Lightning Strike is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 5 yards and effects that last 1 sec. When cast it deals Nature damage (base value 180) and applies an aura.

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.
