General Pa'valak unleashes a tempest, inflicting 27.2583 Nature damage to all players and negating the next 8.17749 points of healing on the target.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts. Its dispel type is client id 1.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 27.2583. Its area radius is 60 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 301. Its base value is 8.1775. Its area radius is 60 yards.

What it does

Tempest is a Nature spell with a 1.5 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 5 sec cooldown and effects that last 12 sec. When cast it deals Nature damage (base value 27.2583) in a 60 yard radius and applies an aura in a 60 yard radius.

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.
