How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 40 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 600. Its area radius is 30 yards.

What it does

Carrion Swarm is a Shadow spell with a 3 sec cast and a range of 40 yards. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 600) in a 30 yard radius.
