How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met. It can proc at most once every 0.5 sec.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 107. Its base value is 4.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 65.

What it does

Whirlwind is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 20 sec. When cast it applies an aura. It stacks up to 4 times.

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.
