Tooltip

The Ceaseless Swarm prowls the arena, seeking players to devour. When they come into contact with a player, they leave festering wounds inflicting 4 Nature damage every 0.5 sec and reducing movement speed by 3% for 2 sec. This effect stacks.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Ceaseless Swarm is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 4 per tick. It ticks every 0.5 sec, 4 times over the full 2 sec (16 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 1.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is 3. It applies the snared mechanic.

What it does

Ceaseless Swarm is a Nature spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 0.5 sec and applies an aura with the snared mechanic. The client files the whole spell under the infected mechanic. It stacks up to 10 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.
