Tooltip

Deals Shadow damage to all enemies in a cone in front of the caster.

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 Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 40 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 200. Its area radius is 15 yards.

What it does

Carrion Swarm is a Shadow spell with a 3 sec cast, a range of 40 yards and a 3 sec cooldown. When cast it deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 200) in a 15 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.
