Tooltip

The Death Metal Knight calls forth ghouls from the nearby graves to attack Devlynn Styx. Each ghoul will continue to attack Devlynn Styx until it is defeated.

How it works

Army of the Dead is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 226. It ticks every 1 sec, 12 times over the full 12 sec.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 60 yards.

What it does

Army of the Dead is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 12 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 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.
