||
| − | == Notes == |
||
| − | * You can only cyclone one target at a time. Cycloning a second target will cancel the one currently in effect. |
||
| − | * Due to diminishing returns, you will have three successful casts on a single target before immunity begins. This spell's duration is cut in half every time, beginning with 6 seconds, dropping to 3 on the next use, and finally 1.5 seconds. |
||
| − | * The only ways to break free of cyclone is the [[human]] [[racial]] [[Every Man for Himself]] and [[Insignia of the Horde]] or [[Insignia of the Alliance]]. |
||
| − | * Any aura or passive buff granted by the affected player or mob to other players or mobs will be temporarily negated until the effect ends. For instance, if you cast Cyclone on a warlock's pet, [[Soul Link]] will be removed from the warlock and his pet until Cyclone's effect ends. |
||
| − | * The target affected by cyclone is also immune to [[heal over time|HoT]] or [[damage over time|DoT]] effects. |
||
| − | [[File:Cyclone TCG.jpg|thumb|In the [[World of Warcraft: Trading Card Game]].]] |
||
| − | == Talent enhancement == |
||
| − | * [[Nature's Focus]] in the [[Restoration]] tree reduces the amount of pushback suffered while casting cyclone by up to 70% for 3 talent points. |
||
| − | * [[Gale Winds]] increases the range of cyclone by up to 4 yards for 2 talent points. |
||
| − | * [[Nature's Reach]], [[Nature's Grace]], and [[Nature's Swiftness (druid ability)]] all affect Cyclone, but are not specific to it. |
||
| − | == |
+ | ==In World of Warcraft== |
| + | Vandermar village is not present in ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' in any identifiable form. Given its relative position on ''[[Warcraft III]]'' maps, it is likely to be either in the eastern area of the [[Tirisfal Glades]], the northern area of the [[Alterac Mountains]], or in a portion of the [[Western Plaguelands]] west of [[Andorhal]]. |
||
| − | *Cyclone can be tricky to use because in addition to the affected target being able to perform any actions, no actions may be performed upon the affected target. A cyclone at the wrong time can cause another player to waste a long cooldown or a high cost spell, whereas a cyclone at the right time may cause a player to stop casting a long or highly damage attack, or even cause them to not receive a large heal that was coming their way. |
||
| − | *Cyclone can be only be used in humanoid and [[Moonkin Form]]. |
||
| − | *Cyclone cannot be broken by abilities such as [[Divine Shield]] or [[Ice Block]], but cyclone cannot be cast on players already affected by these types of abilities. |
||
| − | *Using cyclone as a long term form of [[crowd control]] in an [[instance]] can be tricky and difficult for the druid to manage, especially if the druid is the [[healer]]. In most situations it is more effective to use [[Entangling Roots]] if it is necessary to crowd control on a large pull, or continuously throughout an instance. If the target that must be controlled is a ranged attacker however, then cyclone becomes especially useful. |
||
| − | *When using this spell in situations where you're with others, grief can be avoided by communicating how long you will be cycloning, and when it has gone onto diminishing returns. |
||
| − | *Most city raids are always wary of a cyclone coming down on the tank that has the boss, as the boss will suddenly go after someone squishy. |
||
| + | However, locations of a few settlements in ''Warcraft III'', such as [[Brill]], are known to differ significantly from their positions in ''World of Warcraft'', so it is possible that this village is located elsewhere. Considering those changes, it could be presumed that it is [[Deathknell]], the [[Forsaken]] starting area, or it may have been destroyed entirely by the Scourge or the Burning Legion. |
||
| − | == Patch changes == |
||
| − | * {{Patch 3.2.0|note=Victims of Cyclone can no longer receive healing from health drain effects such as [[Devouring Plague]] while they are affected by Cyclone.}} |

Revision as of 19:29, 28 June 2011
Warcraft III undead campaign, chapter 1.
This article contains lore taken from Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, the manuals, and/or official bonus maps.
Vandermar Village was a Lordaeron village situated northeast of Lordamere Lake near the City of Lordaeron.
History
During the Third War, many acolytes of the Cult of the Damned lived in hiding in Vandermar Village. The village was safe from aggressors (save for a handful of bandits) and for a long period of time, Vandermar Village remained unscathed while the Scourge rampaged through Lordaeron.
After returning from Northrend and succeeding his father through regicide, Arthas Menethil met Tichondrius on the outskirts of Vandermar Village. Tichondrius instructed Arthas to rally the acolytes of the Cult of the Damned in order to reanimate Kel'Thuzad.[1] Arthas gathered the Cult of the Damned, destroying the village in the process. During his battles with Vandermar's garrison of soldiers, Arthas bolstered his forces by reanimating the dead bodies recently laid to rest in the Vandermar Village cemetery.
In World of Warcraft
Vandermar village is not present in World of Warcraft in any identifiable form. Given its relative position on Warcraft III maps, it is likely to be either in the eastern area of the Tirisfal Glades, the northern area of the Alterac Mountains, or in a portion of the Western Plaguelands west of Andorhal.
However, locations of a few settlements in Warcraft III, such as Brill, are known to differ significantly from their positions in World of Warcraft, so it is possible that this village is located elsewhere. Considering those changes, it could be presumed that it is Deathknell, the Forsaken starting area, or it may have been destroyed entirely by the Scourge or the Burning Legion.
