Ta'yak rapidly spins his blade pulling all enemies towards himself and inflicting 285000 to 315000 Physical damage every 0.5 sec.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 0.5 sec, 12 times over the full 6 sec. It triggers Blade Tempest.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Blade Tempest.

What it does

Blade Tempest is a spell with a 3 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 10 sec cooldown and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 0.5 sec. It also casts Blade Tempest (record #125312) and Blade Tempest (record #125301).

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70631. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
