How it works

Wind Burst is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 140. Its area radius is 13 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Interrupt Cast (effect type 68). Its area radius is 13 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 100. Its area radius is 13 yards.

What it does

Wind Burst is a Nature spell with a 2 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 140) in a 13 yard radius, interrupts spellcasting in a 13 yard radius and has a Knock Back effect in a 13 yard radius.

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.
