Creates a large sandstorm, inflicting 4.64506 Nature damage to all enemies every 2 sec for 12 sec.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 15.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 260. Its base value is 20.

What it does

Sandstorm is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 15 sec. When cast it applies an aura.

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.

Multiple client spell records exist

The game client stores 43 separate Spell records named "Sandstorm". This page is record #257157. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page. The 12 records closest by id are compared here.
