Call down a bolt of lightning damaging nearby enemies. Deals 300 Nature damage to all nearby enemies, knocking them back.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 300. Its area radius is 15 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 30. Its area radius is 15 yards.

What it does

Thunderstorm is a Nature spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it deals Nature damage (base value 300) in a 15 yard radius and has a Knock Back effect in a 15 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.
