Send your swarm into a frenzy, summoning 12 scarabs over 3 sec to ravage your foes. The number of scarabs is increased by your Haste.

How it works

Spells that share its cooldown category wait 20 sec after it is cast. It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 12.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 0.2 sec, 12 times over the full 3 sec.

What it does

Ravenous Swarm is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards, a 1 min cooldown and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 0.2 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.
