How it works

Whirlwind 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, 8 times over the full 4 sec. It triggers Whirlwind.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 147.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -65.

What it does

Whirlwind is a spell with a 1.5 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 4 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 0.5 sec and applies an aura. It also casts Whirlwind (record #133847).

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70268. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
