How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Weapon Damage (effect type 58). Its base value is 680. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 77, which the datamine does not name. It scales with 1 times spell power.

What it does

Whirlwind is a Physical spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it deals weapon damage (base value 680) in a 10 yard radius.

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.
