Calls down a bolt of lightning, dealing (10.4% of Spell Power) Nature damage to all enemies of the target, reducing their movement speed by 60% and knocking them upward. This spell is usable while stunned.

How it works

Thunderstorm is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). It scales with 0.1045 times spell power. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 60. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -60. It applies the snared mechanic. Its area radius is 10 yards.

What it does

Thunderstorm is a Nature spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it deals Nature damage in a 10 yard radius and applies an aura with the snared mechanic in a 10 yard radius.

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.
