The caster coalesces a lightning storm for 6 sec, inflicting Nature damage to players of each impact and reducing their movement speed by 50% for 8 sec.

How it works

Storm Surge is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 1 sec, 6 times over the full 6 sec. It triggers Storm Surge.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 1 sec, 6 times over the full 6 sec. It triggers Storm Surge.

What it does

Storm Surge is a Nature spell with a 4 sec cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec. It also casts Storm Surge (record #456046) and Storm Surge (record #456048).

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.
