Summons a flock of crows to attack your target, dealing [(23% of Attack power) * 16] Physical damage over 15 sec. If the target dies while under attack, A Murder of Crows' cooldown is reset.
While very similar, this ability is technically not a damage over time effect.[1] This can affect certain game mechanics.
