Fear

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 7.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 31. Its base value is 30.

What it does

Fear is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 20 sec. 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.
