Lei Shen cracks a Lightning Whip across the floor, inflicting 163.551 Nature damage to enemies in front of him, creating a Lightning Bolt on the ground. The Lightning Bolt effect can be avoided by jumping over it.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 163.551. Its area radius is 80 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 0.3 sec. It triggers Lightning Whip.

What it does

Lightning Whip is a Nature spell with a 4 sec cast, a range of 500 yards and effects that last 0.3 sec. When cast it deals Nature damage (base value 163.551) in an 80 yard radius and applies an aura every 0.3 sec. It also casts Lightning Whip (record #137499).

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.
