Sandstorm

Tooltip

Your spells and abilities have a chance to summon a cylone of piercing winds. Enemies inside the cyclone take damage every 2 sec, and deal less damage to you.

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 226. It ticks every 2 sec. It triggers Sandstorm.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3).

What it does

Sandstorm is a spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it applies an aura every 2 sec. It also casts Sandstorm (record #273858).

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.
