Tooltip

A cloud of insects surrounds the target, inflicting 10 Plague damage every 1 sec for 12 sec.

If the target comes within 5 yds of another player, the insects will jump to that player and disorient them for 1 sec.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 5.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -50.

What it does

Cloud of Carrion is a Nature and Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 150 yards and effects that last 1 sec. When cast it applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the disoriented mechanic.

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.
