How it works

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 200 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 60 times over the full 1 min (12000 base in total).

What it does

Insect Swarm is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 1 min. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec.

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.
