How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

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

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 140, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Thunderbolt.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 142, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 20. It triggers Thunderbolt.

What it does

Thunderbolt is a Nature spell with a 3 sec cast and a range of 100 yards. It also casts Thunderbolt (record #52906) and Thunderbolt (record #52907).

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.
