Howling Gale

Tooltip

Channels intense cold for 6 sec, inflicting 9.4039 Frost damage to players every 1 sec. This frozen gale also pulls in all players slowly.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

Howling Gale 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 1 sec, 6 times over the full 6 sec. It triggers Howling Gale.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Howling Gale.

What it does

Howling Gale is a Frost spell with a 2 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 5 sec cooldown and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec. It also casts Howling Gale (record #217968) and Howling Gale (record #217967).

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.
