Feign death, tricking enemies into ignoring you. Lasts up to 4 sec.

How it works

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

Feign Death is built from 3 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 20. Its base value is 25 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 4 times over the full 4 sec (100 base in total).
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. It applies the stunned mechanic.

What it does

Feign Death is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), an 8 sec cooldown and effects that last 4 sec. When cast it applies an aura, applies an aura every 1 sec and applies an aura with the stunned mechanic.

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.
