How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -60. Its area radius is 200 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. Its area radius is 200 yards. It ticks every 2 sec. It triggers Wailing Winds.
  3. Effect 3 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 200. Its area radius is 200 yards.

What it does

Wailing Winds is a Nature spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 7 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 200 yard radius, applies an aura in a 200 yard radius every 2 sec and has a Knock Back effect in a 200 yard radius. It also casts Wailing Winds (record #83566).

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.
