How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 144, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 80. It applies the knockbacked mechanic. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 144, which the datamine does not name. It applies the knockbacked mechanic. Its area radius is 10 yards.

What it does

Thunderstorm is a Nature spell with an instant cast and a range of 100 yards. The client files the whole spell under the knockbacked 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.
