Feign Death

Tooltip

Feign death, tricking enemies into ignoring you. Lasts up to 5 sec.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 66.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.

What it does

Feign Death is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 30 sec cooldown and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it applies an aura.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70631. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
