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

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3).
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 98.7409. Its area radius is 100 yards.

What it does

Carrion Swarm is a Shadow spell with a 3 sec cast, a range of 100 yards and a 4 sec cooldown. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 98.7409) in a 100 yard radius. It stacks up to 99 times.

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.
