How it works

Casting it triggers a 1 sec global cooldown.

Fire Whirl is built from 4 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 241.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 0.2 sec, 15 times over the full 3 sec. It triggers Fire Whirl.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 171. Its base value is 70.
  4. Effect 4 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 263.

What it does

Fire Whirl is a spell with a 1 sec cast, a range of 8 yards, a 12 sec cooldown and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it applies an aura and applies an aura every 0.2 sec. It also casts Fire Whirl (record #443937).

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.
