Angers the elements, creating torrents of wind which spiral around for 21 sec. Touching the torrents knocks targets back and inflicts Nature damage.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 144, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 100. Its area radius is 3 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 350. Its area radius is 3 yards.

What it does

Gusting Winds is a Nature spell with an instant cast and a range of 100 yards. When cast it deals Nature damage (base value 350) in a 3 yard radius.

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.
