Tooltip

The caster becomes a cyclone of steel, decreasing his movement speed by 50% and inflicting 12 Physical damage to all players within 11 yards every 1 sec for 8 sec.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 12 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 8 times over the full 8 sec (96 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 11.

What it does

Blade Tempest is a spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the current retail game build. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
