As noted in a Blizzcon panel--check these out while its raining.

Also, I believe they do massively inflated damage to critters.

Commento di Lemming

https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/spell=43730 is the buff you get. And yes, these do massively inflated damage to critters, one proc nailed a squirrel for me tonight for 700 damage. But normally you'll only see mobs being hit for about 20-30 damage.

Commento di 30549

This will zap nearby mobs you arent in combat with, so be careful riding around places you plan on running though mobs. It also does not stack with the Well Fed Buffs from stat foods.

Commento di shane902

Yes it does break cc.

Commento di alfonzzo

tested w/ 475 +dmg here are the results.

- does not appear to be directional. hits mobs in 360 deg radius.
- only hits 2 targets even if there are more around you
- does 19-31 damage with an average of 24
- crit between 29-47 w/ an avg of 39. (I wonder if talents would bump this to 200% instead of 150%?)
- out of 127 casts, 86.4 hit, 13.6% crit,1.6% resist
(not a representive sample, but more than by 11.67% crit rating from gear.) Perhaps it uses your spell crit rating, but would need more trials to make any conclusions here.
- saw some weird behavior wrt range. with one target it only procs if it is in melee range. with 2 targets as long as one is in melee range they both get hit.

so at best, 48 damage every 8 seconds, or 6 dps or 84 AP. Maybe more if you have a decent spell crit rate. Better than a sharp stick in the eye I guess. Could be useful but would need to be careful w/ cc, especially the way this works with range

before you mock my 475 damage, I did this on my feral druid who had a few +damage scraps in the bank.

Watch out using this item in a raid setting. Wiped on Mag because someone used this and it hit a channeler without the raid being ready.

DANGER CHOPS

I guess it's ok for AoE tanking if you aren't planning on sheeping anything?

Nov 28 I got this recipe from the daily quest. Made some up and tried them out by running around Swamp of Sorrows while waiting for a Kara group to start. I was getting hits of anywhere between 54-62 with one crit of 90, every ince in a while an odd low hit in the 30's. This is on my Resto Shaman...1679 healing, 635 damage. Does NOT seem to proc while not in combat so far, except on critters.

Commento di Rampshik

Didn't tested it, but does this break stealth?

Commento di 41823

If it requires one, but not both, targets to be in melee range it sounds like its using the chain-lightning formula, with a 2-target cap. Like how mob cleave used to (and PC cleave still might).

Commento di Coopervisor

I've tried this in a AB game guarding the Farm, sometimes it'd hit an enemy, then jump onto a critter. I tested this at Odesyus' Landing on the fast respawning chickens and couldn't get it to jump from critter to another critter.

It was hitting critters for 660-670, i turned on Sanctity aura (+2% increase to all damage) and it started hitting for 670-680. I popped Avenging Wrath (+30% damage) and it hit for 888 twice, then crit for 1814.

It wasn't raining at this point so doesn't need to be rainding to zap critters.

It works while sat down and while mounted.

Some further info, when used in a raining zone (Zangermarsh) it was zapping critters for more, hitting around 700-710.

It would not hit mobs if i wasn't in combat, as soon as i entered combat it would start zapping, it would also pull other mobs to me as long as i was in combat.

It seems to have 2 seperate attacks, 1st is the high damage against critters, this can occur out of combat (sitting/mounted) but will not jump to another critter or mob. 2nd is the "normal" damage, this will only occur whilst in combat and can jump to a 2nd target (even if this 2nd mob isn't in combat with you already). This is confirmed by looking at the spell details, it is an aura effect with 2 seperate spell effects.

Commento di Avira

Stormchops will use your spell crit and all crit modifiers and will take a very small portion of spell damage.

Getting a crit with Lightning Zap from Stormchops will build and fire charges from the Lightning Capacitor and will proc abilities such as Surge of Light (for Priests) and Clearcasting (for Shamans)

Therefore, it is advantageous to have this active during a boss fight as it will provide you with a crit chance every 5 seconds or so.

Crits from Stormchop will also proc spell crit trinkets.

The buff is dispellable and stealable.

Commento di 93026

First experience with this I crit a spider for 1729, instantly fell in love with it. Later it crit The Curator for 249 during evocation.

I really love seeing how many times I can have Lightning Zap, Vengeance (Darkmoon Card: Vengeance), Thorns and Blessing of Sanctuary all proc at the same time.

Commento di lunateth

This breaks any CC, so basically it's only for soloing/grinding/questing. By the way, the best place I've found to fish-farm Lightning Eel is in Feralas, I got a stack of 20 in about 1.5 hrs (the price on Silvermoon US for these fish are now like 80g/stack after 2.3)

Commento di pobblebonk

I'm not sure how the proc for this thing works. I used some on my rogue in a ramparts run for fun. Of the 8 times I sapped a mob, every time I hit sap it would zap them both and I'd need rescuing from the paladin tank. That's a little unusual, I don't know of anything else that hits 100% on the first hit.

Commento di 50558

You guys are talking about hits in the hundreds with crits well over 1k, I tried this today and the average hit - when I can get a hit - is between 22-30 damage, with crits for around 40.

This is on my Warlock which recently hit 70 and has about 575 bonus spell damage - but people with no spell damage (melee classes) are talking about hits 10 times the size.

Nerfed?

Commento di Danarca

I used this on my protection paladin in lower Karazhan.
Broke 23 CCs, ye be warned!

... A LOT of fun though ^^

Commento di 21986

These are pretty cool for solo PvE. As a rogue:

Pros:
+ Does not proc on nearby mobs when stealthed
+ Almost always procs on your opener and every 5 seconds or so after that... it has a very high proc rate
+ Has a chain lightning effect, so it hits enemies not in melee range. This is nice for mob pets and also includes objects dropped by the mob. It proced on the mines dropped by the tinkerers in the deathforge, so I would guess it also procs on totems dropped by totem dropping mobs.
+ The range of the jump isn't so big you have to worry about aggroing additional mobs. If they are close enough to get hit by lightning, they are close enough to aggro on their own, with mobs close to my level. And if they were much lower than my level, I wouldn't really care about the additional aggro, anyway.

Cons:
+ Procs on sap, so sap is completely unusable
+ Can break blind... but if you blind right after a proc you will likely get the full effect of the blind before it procs again anyway. Blind is still very usable if you time it right.

Overall this is a pretty cool food for soloing. It would be ideal for warriors or pallies or other melee classes that don't have much in the way of breakable CC. It's useful enough on a rogue even losing the use of sap. Definitely bad for any group using CC. It would be good for PvP, but I don't eat buff food in PvP since you die so frequently.

Commento di 144133

don't use this in magtheridon's lair unless you want to cause a wipe.

Commento di 134700

not sure if its been said, but dont use this in pvp if ur a ench shaman, it does take away stormstrike charges...though it is funny, i was asked like 15 times over 5 BGs on how i did the "instant chain lightning" >.<

Xelios's Lightning Zap hits Prairie Dog for 666 Nature.
Xelios's Lightning Zap hits Rabbit for 1334 Nature. (Critical)
Xelios gains Vengeance.

Awesome critter killer if you ask me. No more having to walk up to a critter and punch it. Eat one of these and just walk by.

No more waiting for sleepy willy 5 min eye beam proc >.<
Shoulda strted cooking xD

Commento di warcraftzombie

I've tested this buff, it WILL bring a rogue out of stealth. Very useful for pvp.

Commento di 166662

An awesome consumable item to use, I would say.

Commento di 145487

I use these on my Protection Warrior on runs for a little kick in initial threat. I typically run with as little crowd control as possible in Heroics and 10-mans, so particularly on pulls with more than four mobs, these are really nice. The first few seconds is where the pull can go wrong the easiest, and with Thunder Clap only hitting four targets, this is a nice way to get some passive threat on the mobs Thunder Clap doesn't hit. It's not a lot, but every little bit helps, especially farming old content where threat generation is actually an issue.

Commento di FuzionInfinity

Had this proc off on an enemy in booty bay T_T...didn't end well.

Commento di 167448

does anyone sell it

Commento di Allakhazam

I'm guessing they deal damage but how much and how often?

Commento di Allakhazam

BTW, if you're wondering about it, you don't have to sit down to eat it, it's an instant buff. It proccs somewhat frequently, probably about 30 or 40% chance and for me on my Warlock, shocked for about 28 nature damage per zap.

Just got that one in the daily quest in Lower City, Shattrah...

Now I just need to fish me some eels lol

Commento di Allakhazam

Specula on the Alliance of Bloodscalp, ie: me, can make these. PST me if you want some made with your mats.

Commento di Allakhazam

As if all the mice, rats, and spiders in random raids and instances didn't have it bad enough with the occasional mean player, Blizz had to create a food that will zap them if they're too close to the player. =D Good stuff.

Commento di Thottbot

Bottom line: STORMCHOPS is an awesome food to cruise around with and nuke critters. It did damage between 27 and 1392 in my initial testing, although only critters will suffer the higher damage output beyond the 30-40 range at the moment. Roughly 60% of the zaps landed for about 27 damage, 30% of the zaps landed for about 680 damage, and 10% of the zaps landed for about 1375 damage. 25% of the zaps were crits, and while all 1375 damage zaps were crits, some crits landed for 30-40ish damage. It will shoot yellow targets, and will shoot targets that are not currently engaged in combat with you - however it is much more likely to nuke every target that agros you. PIC BELOW......

I'm have 375 Cooking and Fishing, and today spent the time to make Stormchops for the first time. Recipe: Stormchops is only available as one of many possible rewards for "the Rokk's" Daily Cooking quest found in Lower City, Shattrath. It's a rare "blue" recipe, and requires a single Lightning Eel and a single Clefthoof Meat as ingredients.

Consuming Stormchops gives you a 30 minute "Electrified" buff, which shoots a pretty awesome looking bolt of lightning at nearby enemies.

My findings:

* Stormchops will "shoot" both red and yellow mobs while you are not in combat. (ie it will initiate combat)

* Stormchops (like all food) does not persist through death.

* Stormchops seemed to ALWAYS shoot a bolt at an enemy that agros you first. I'd like to say that this happens 100% of the time, but I honestly wasn't keeping track of this closely, but its pretty safe to say that if something agros you, its gonna get zapped. (and for a regular mob that will probably be the only time it gets zapped - unless you are a prot spec in which case it takes you a half hour to take down a mob lol)

* Stormchops can fire on multiple mobs at once.

* Stormchops is "Nature Damage"

* Stormchops can crit.

* Stormchops did damage between 26 and 1392 in my testing. See my raw data below. I am not sure if Stormchops somehow procs based on your spell damage, crit % or if it has a flat rate.

* In my testing, roughly 60% of the zaps did around 27 damage, around 30% of the zaps did 680 damage, and 10% of the zaps did 1375 damage.

* 25% of the zaps were crits, and while all 1375 damage zaps were crits, some crits landed for 30-40ish damage.

Commento di Thottbot

nice info, :), one tip, dont use this in raids if your a cloth user, or a rogue about to ambush... it can strike at anymoment and usually the mob comes for you, maybe it gives high aggro?, no idea, ill test

Commento di Thottbot

Well I can tell you this. The "zap" will break sheep, sap, seduction...etc... So if you are using this then don't get too close the CCed mobs. Found this out in heroic when I gave it to the tank. It is good for just messing around or if the tank needs to keep agro on multiple targets, like during ramparts when you are fighting the guy that spawns all the little demon dogs. Also the tank told me that when it did go off it always hit for at least 663....so if the whole group has it then 5 x 663 = 3315 extra damage. On my own testing it appears to have a 10sec recharge time and it always hit for 663 on critters, lower city no longer has an infestation.

Commento di Thottbot

What I'M curious about, if it's Nature damage... what if you give it to a mage? or someone with high SP? When my mage spellsteals $%^& like lightning shields it sends that thing into overdrive because it's only supposed to hit for 300-400 whatever, and because of her SP it hits for 1200-1500ish. Food for thought if you will :)

EDIT::::

I fished up the eels and killed me some clefthoof, then headed to durotar because there's lots of critters there....

my conclusion.

NO, spell damage does not affect it.

The only mobs it does real damage to is critters, it strikes critters a hell of a lot more often than regular mobs, and it's actually got a decent range. I'll try to post a SS of it striking some mobs. Plus, it seems to target them out over the other mobs.. I stood by 3 or 4 mobs, and it skipped over them to go to the critter.

All in all, not really worth it unless you're bored and feel like zapping a few critters.

Commento di Thottbot

LOL i'd agree with the above.
This is a FUN food not for raiding or instance.
It fires when you agro but will also randomly fire against critters while walking about.
Mostly it is excellent for killing rabbits.
If you really HATE rabbits, this is for you!

Commento di Thottbot

is this like lightng bolt or chain lighting?

Commento di Thottbot

Made abunch of these

went into X-roads and fed them to the entire raid

It was awesome...

Commento di Thottbot

Tested for 30 minutes.

when doing single mobs it procs every 10 secs does 25-30 damage or so. I saw it crit once doing 40 something.

Doing multiple mobs i found it procs every 10 seconds hitting 2 mobs. Never saw it hit more than 2, which doesent mean it didnt happen tho:p

Didnt venture into the whole critterkilling game.
i love bunnies:p

Will not proc if you are not in combat to my knowledge.

More fun than useful imo.

Commento di Thottbot

FACT: it shoots in / out of combat it just take a random notion to shoot when and what it wants to so dont think it wont attack if your not in combat

Commento di Thottbot

I think people undervalue this recipe too much. Most people think it's just a vanity food for super-critting critters, I see it from a different angle.

I usually pop one of these before I start a BG and it intimidates the living crap out of the opposing faction. It does the trick even better when I'm in a big group of people whirlwinding and cleaving.

Sure it does barely any damage, but picture this; Decked out Orc Warrior charges into a big pack of Alliance. Suddenly he starts firing off lightning bolts everywhere and just tearing people apart. Pops intimidating shout and bam, there's your group buster. Couple this together with Dragonbreath Chili/Firey and people get confused very easily by the sheer intensity of it all.

Anyways, just thought I'd offer another perspective on this dish. GLHF

Commento di Thottbot

Finally a use for Lightning eels

Commento di Thottbot

High proc rate, but not a lot of damage. A fun effect to watch as you send bolts out at unsuspecting critters. I do wish this could stack with food buffs.

Commento di Thottbot

The stormchops have only one practicle use: AoE farming. Run around like mad, the lighting zap procs will aggro everything much better than proximity aggro, it will tag them (counts as a hit so you get looting/rep/exp rights) and costs no mana. Give it to your mages or pallies that AoE farm and they'll love you.

Commento di Thottbot

AoE tanking?

Commento di Thottbot

haven't tried it yet, but it seems like a good item for a rogue or someone without aoe to go into lower level instances and farm or run a lowb.

Commento di Thottbot

Eat one and stand in Deep Run Tram!

Commento di Thottbot

Does anyone know if this will attack snakes from a Hunter's trap or enemy totems?

Commento di Thottbot

I just got the recipe, it looks like good fun, it gets me worries about breaking CC though, but perhaps I shouldn't use it in instances/raids ^_^

Commento di Thottbot

this is the only recipe with ligthing eel rigth? Its been a white uselss item for like 2 years.
And now its agroes mobs you dont wann aggro., Seems uselsss unles u are aoe grining some instance like sm.
