How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 407.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 26.

What it does

Fear is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 20 sec. When cast it applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the fleeing mechanic.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70268. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
