Bladestorm

Tooltip

You become a whirling storm of destructive force, striking all targets with both weapons for 180% weapon damage every 1 sec for 6 sec.

During a Bladestorm, you can continue to dodge, block, and parry, and are immune to movement impairing and loss of control effects. However, you can only perform shout abilities.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

Bladestorm is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 1 sec, 6 times over the full 6 sec. It triggers Bladestorm.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 147.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 263.

What it does

Bladestorm is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 1 min cooldown and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec and applies an aura. It also casts Bladestorm (record #50622).

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.
