Bladestorm

Tooltip

Become an unstoppable storm of destructive force, striking all nearby enemies for Physical damage over 6 sec. Deals reduced damage beyond 8 targets.

You are immune to movement impairing and loss of control effects, but can use defensive abilities and can avoid attacks.

Generates 5 Rage on each strike.

How it works

It works on charges (charge category 2270); the charge count and recharge time live in a client table the datamine does not carry, so they are not stated here. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

Bladestorm is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. Its base value is 8 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 6 times over the full 6 sec (48 base in total). It triggers Bladestorm.
  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 263.

What it does

Bladestorm is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec and applies an aura. It also casts Bladestorm (record #50622).

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.
