How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 255. Its area radius is 20 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 35 per tick. Its area radius is 20 yards. It ticks every 2 sec, 4 times over the full 8 sec (140 base in total).

What it does

Carrion Swarm is a Shadow spell with a 2 sec cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 255) in a 20 yard radius and applies an aura in a 20 yard radius every 2 sec.

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.
