Tempest

Tooltip

The caster channels a storm overhead that inflicts 1.5 Nature damage every 1 sec for 5 sec.

The electricity clings to players, inflicting an additional 1 Nature damage every 1 sec for 12 sec. This effect stacks.

How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 1.5. Its area radius is 60 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 1 per tick. Its area radius is 60 yards. It ticks every 1 sec, 12 times over the full 12 sec (12 base in total).

What it does

Tempest is a Nature spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 12 sec. When cast it deals Nature damage (base value 1.5) in a 60 yard radius and applies an aura in a 60 yard radius every 1 sec. It stacks up to 99 times.

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.
