Feign death, tricking enemies into ignoring you. Lasts up to 5 sec.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

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 4.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 120.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 26.

What it does

Feign Death is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 10 sec cooldown and effects that last 5 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.
