How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

Wind Burst is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 250.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 40.

What it does

Wind Burst is a Nature spell with a 3 sec cast, a range of 20 yards and a 15 sec cooldown. When cast it deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 250) and has a Knock Back 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.
