Sweeping Strikes

Tooltip

Causes the caster's next melee attacks to strike an additional nearby enemy. This battle frenzy is tiring, however, and lasts 20 sec. at most.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met. The aura is spent after 5 procs.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.

What it does

Sweeping Strikes 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.

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.
