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 Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 125. Its area radius is 4 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -50. Its area radius is 4 yards.

What it does

Storm Surge is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 125) in a 4 yard radius and applies an aura in a 4 yard radius. The client files the whole spell under the snared mechanic.

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.
