Upon expiration, finds a new target, preferring to alternate between friend and foe up to 3 times.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Learn Spell (effect type 36).
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3).

What it does

Adaptive Swarm is a spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it teaches a spell.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the current retail game build. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
