How it works

Carrion Swarm is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 136. Its base value is -75. Its area radius is 65 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 4250. Its area radius is 65 yards.

What it does

Carrion Swarm is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 60 yards and effects that last 20 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 65 yard radius and deals Shadow damage (base value 4250) in a 65 yard radius.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70631. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
