Tosses the enemy target into the air, preventing all action and healing but making them invulnerable for up to 6 sec.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. It applies the banished mechanic.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 39. It applies the banished mechanic.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 118. Its base value is -100. It applies the banished mechanic.

What it does

Cyclone is a Nature spell with a 3.5 sec cast, a range of 45 yards and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it applies an aura with the banished mechanic. The client files the whole spell under the banished mechanic.

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.
