Summons a Whirling Cyclone.

How it works

Whirling Winds 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 effect type 61, which the datamine does not name.

What it does

Whirling Winds is a Nature spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 10 sec. 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.
