How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 3 sec, 3 times over the full 9 sec. It triggers Whirlwind.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 26. Its base value is 1.

What it does

Bladestorm is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 9 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 3 sec and applies an aura. It also casts Whirlwind.

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.
