Brann feigns death when being attacked or if players escape combat, tricking his enemies into ignoring him.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

Feign Death is built from 6 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 120.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 26.
  4. Effect 4 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 60.
  5. Effect 5 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 226. It ticks every 1 sec, 360 times over the full 6 min.
  6. Effect 6 is effect type 203, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Stealth.

What it does

Feign Death is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 6 min. When cast it applies an aura and applies an aura every 1 sec. It also casts Stealth.

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.
