Become an unstoppable storm of destructive force, striking all nearby enemies for Physical damage over 4 sec. Deals reduced damage beyond 8 targets.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

Bladestorm is built from 4 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, 4 times over the full 4 sec (32 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.
  4. Effect 4 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 24. Its base value is 50 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 4 times over the full 4 sec (200 base in total).

What it does

Bladestorm is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 1 min cooldown and effects that last 4 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.
