Creates a violent storm in the target area causing 8.38452 Nature damage to enemies every 1 sec, and increasing the time between the attacks of enemies by 67%. Lasts 10 sec. Druid must channel to maintain the spell.

How it works

Each cast of Hurricane costs 500 Mana.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 8.3845 per tick. It scales with 0.03 times spell power. Its area radius is 8 yards. It ticks every 1 sec, 10 times over the full 10 sec (83.84 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 138. Its base value is -67. Its area radius is 8 yards.

What it does

Hurricane is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in an 8 yard radius every 1 sec and leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in an 8 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.
