Tooltip

The enemy target is swarmed by insects, dealing Physical damage every 2 sec for 12 sec.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. It ticks every 2 sec, 6 times over the full 12 sec.

What it does

Insect Swarm is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 12 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 2 sec.

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.
