Deals 27.9878 Shadow damage to enemies in a large cone and reduces their healing taken by 75% for 5 sec.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

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 27.9878. Its area radius is 40 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 118. Its base value is -75. Its area radius is 40 yards.

What it does

Carrion Swarm is a Shadow spell with a 1.5 sec cast, a range of 500 yards, a 5 sec cooldown and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 27.9878) in a 40 yard radius and applies an aura in a 40 yard radius.

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.
