How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3).
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 72000.5. Its area radius is 80 yards.
  3. Effect 3 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 an instant cast, a range of 500 yards and effects that last 0.3 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 0.3 sec. It also casts Lightning Whip (record #212014).

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.
