Swirls violently in a storm of steel, inflicting 3.5 Physical damage every 1 sec and pushing enemies away for until cancelled.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.
  2. Effect 2 is Create Area Effect (effect type 179).

What it does

Whirling Blades is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it applies an aura and 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.
