Feign death, tricking enemies into ignoring you. Lasts up to until cancelled.

How it works

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 12.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 120.

What it does

Feign Death is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and an effect that lasts until cancelled. 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.
