Spins around in a whirlwind of steel, dealing 7540 to 8460 Physical damage to all nearby enemies and causing them to Bleed for an additional 2000 damage per 3 sec, for 9 sec.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 7540. Its area radius is 5 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 2000 per tick. It applies the bleeding mechanic. Its area radius is 5 yards. It ticks every 3 sec, 3 times over the full 9 sec (6000 base in total).

What it does

Whirling Slash is a Physical spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 9 sec. When cast it deals Physical damage (base value 7540) in a 5 yard radius and applies an aura with the bleeding mechanic in a 5 yard radius every 3 sec. The client files the whole spell under the bleeding mechanic. It stacks up to 50 times.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Wrath of the Lich King client, build 3.80.2.69874. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
