Static Charge

Tooltip

Charges an enemy with energy, inflicting 4500 Nature damage over 12 sec. While the target is affected, the static periodically zaps its nearby allies with Nature damage as well.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 750 per tick. It ticks every 2 sec, 6 times over the full 12 sec (4500 base in total).
  2. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. Its base value is 1 per tick. It scales with 1 times spell power. It ticks every 1 sec, 12 times over the full 12 sec (12 base in total). It triggers Static Charge.

What it does

Static Charge is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards, a 3 sec cooldown and effects that last 12 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 2 sec and applies an aura every 1 sec. It also casts Static Charge (record #31716).

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Burning Crusade client, build 2.5.6.70006. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
