How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 316.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 7.

What it does

Cheat Death is a spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it applies an aura.

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.
