Take a defensive stance, deflecting frontal non-spell attacks, deflecting frontal spell attacks.

This leaves the caster vulnerable, taking increased damage.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

Static Discharge is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 5.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Missile (effect type 32). It triggers Static Discharge.

What it does

Static Discharge is a Nature spell with a 1.5 sec cast, a range of 50 yards and a 3 sec cooldown. When cast it deals Nature damage (base value 5) and launches a missile. It also casts Static Discharge (record #298682).

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.
