How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 5 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 6 times over the full 6 sec (30 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 252. Its base value is -30.

What it does

Gale Force is a spell with a 2 sec cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec and applies an aura.

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.
