Creates a violent storm at the target location, causing Nature damage over 10 sec.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 8 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Create Area Effect (effect type 179). Its area radius is 8 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 226. It ticks every 1 sec, 10 times over the full 10 sec.

What it does

Hurricane is a Nature spell with a 2 sec cast, a range of 35 yards, a 10 sec cooldown and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it has a Create Area Effect effect in an 8 yard radius and applies an aura every 1 sec.

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.
