Deals 14137 to 15862 damage per sec. to surrounding enemies but slows movement speed by 35%.

How it works

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

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 1 sec, 8 times over the full 8 sec. It triggers Whirlwind.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -50.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 138. Its base value is -999999.

What it does

Whirlwind is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 3 sec cooldown and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec and applies an aura. It also casts Whirlwind (record #84785).

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.
