Tooltip

This creature lurks in the shadows, feigning death when someone looks at it. While in this state, it regenerates 10% health every second.

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 12.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 20. Its base value is 10 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec.
  3. Effect 3 is effect type 77, which the datamine does not name.

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 and applies an aura every 1 sec.

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.
