How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Weapon Damage (effect type 58). Its base value is 0.894. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 5 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. Its area radius is 5 yards.

What it does

Swoop is a Physical spell with an instant cast, a range of 5 yards and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it deals weapon damage (base value 0.894) in a 5 yard radius and applies an aura in a 5 yard radius. The client files the whole spell under the stunned 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.
