How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Create Area Effect (effect type 179).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 1 sec, 5 times over the full 5 sec. It triggers Tidal Tempest.

What it does

Tidal Tempest is a spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it has a Create Area Effect effect and applies an aura every 1 sec. It also casts Tidal Tempest (record #151564).

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.
