Whirlwind

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

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

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 121, which the datamine does not name. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 8 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 50.

What it does

Whirlwind is a Physical spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and a 10 sec cooldown. When cast it deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 50).

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Burning Crusade client, build 2.5.6.70006. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
