Tooltip

Attacks nearby enemies in a whirlwind of steel that lasts 8 sec. and inflicts normal damage plus 110.

How it works

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

Whirling Blade 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 0.5 sec, 16 times over the full 8 sec. It triggers Whirling Blade.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -50. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 26. Its base value is -9900.

What it does

Whirling Blade is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 45 yards, an 18 sec cooldown and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 0.5 sec and applies an aura. It also casts Whirling Blade (record #91295).

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.
