Violent Winds

Tooltip

Elerethe channels violent winds at her target, pushing them away and inflicting 25.189 Shadow damage every 1 sec to enemies in a line in front of her.

The amount of force pushing the targets away is reduced for each player in the effect and reduces the amount of stacks of Wind Burn that are applied directly to the current target.

How it works

Violent Winds is built from 4 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 1 sec, 8 times over the full 8 sec. It triggers Violent Winds.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 395.
  3. Effect 3 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Violent Winds.
  4. Effect 4 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Violent Winds Cosmetic.

What it does

Violent Winds is a Shadow spell with a 6 sec cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec and applies an aura. It also casts Violent Winds (record #225149), Violent Winds (record #218145) and Violent Winds Cosmetic.

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.
