Garrosh begins whirling, inflicting 102375 to 107625 Shadow damage to nearby enemies every 0.5 sec. The damage inflicted decreases the farther away the enemy is from Garrosh.

How it works

Whirling Corruption 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 0.5 sec, 12 times over the full 6 sec. It triggers Whirling Corruption.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -50. It triggers Whirling Corruption.

What it does

Whirling Corruption is a Shadow spell with a 2.5 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 0.5 sec and applies an aura. It also casts Whirling Corruption (record #144989).

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.
