How it works

Dust Flail 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 1 sec, 7 times over the full 7 sec. It triggers Dust Flail.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 77, which the datamine does not name.

What it does

Dust Flail is a Nature spell with a 1.5 sec cast, a range of 5 yards and effects that last 7 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec. It also casts Dust Flail (record #83856).

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.
