The caster sends a Swirling Vortex outward that will circle the target's current position. Players caught in the vortex suffer Nature damage.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

  1. Effect 1 is Create Area Effect (effect type 179).

What it does

Swirling Vortex is a spell with a 2 sec cast, a range of 60 yards, a 5 sec cooldown and effects that last 15 sec. When cast it has a Create Area Effect effect.

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.
