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 3. It ticks every 1 sec, 18 times over the full 18 sec.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). It triggers Sandstorm.

What it does

Sandstorm is a Nature spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 18 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec. It also casts Sandstorm (record #273853).

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.
