How it works

Spells that share its cooldown category wait 3 sec after it is cast. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 226. It ticks every 1.5 sec, 2 times over the full 3 sec.

What it does

Whirling Blades is a spell with a 2 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 20 sec cooldown and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1.5 sec.

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.
