How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 79. Its base value is 10.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 138. Its base value is 10.

What it does

Swarm is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura. It stacks up to 99 times.

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.

Multiple client spell records exist

The game client stores 14 separate Spell records named "Swarm". This page is record #56281. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page. The 12 records closest by id are compared here.
