Nature spell.

Lightning Cloud

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.

  1. Effect 1 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). Its area radius is 5 yards.

What it does

Lightning Cloud is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards, a 40 sec cooldown and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in a 5 yard radius.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Wrath of the Lich King client, build 3.80.2.69874. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
