A massive Lightning Strike that inflicts 18 Nature damage to all players within 15 yards.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 18. Its area radius is 15 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 15. Its area radius is 15 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 226. Its area radius is 15 yards. It ticks every 1 sec, 3 times over the full 3 sec.

What it does

Lightning Strike is a Nature spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it deals Nature damage (base value 18) in a 15 yard radius and applies an aura in a 15 yard radius every 1 sec. 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.
