Whirling Blade

Tooltip

Throws your weapon at an enemy target's location. The weapon will whirl around for 10 sec, attacking any enemy players within range.

How it works

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

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

  1. Effect 1 is Summon (effect type 28).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 67. It applies the disarmed mechanic.

What it does

Whirling Blade is a spell with a 1 sec cast, a range of 60 yards, a 2 sec cooldown and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it summons a creature and applies an aura with the disarmed mechanic.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70531. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
