Strikes an enemy with a lightning bolt that jumps to nearby enemies. The spell affects the target and any nearby allies, inflicting 2775 to 3225 Nature damage to each target.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 140, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Thunderbolt.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 142, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 2775. It triggers Thunderbolt.

What it does

Thunderbolt is a Nature spell with a 3 sec cast and a range of 100 yards. It also casts Thunderbolt (record #52906) and Thunderbolt (record #52907).

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.
