How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Tempest is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 30.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 200.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 6.

What it does

Tempest is a Nature spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). 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.
