How it works

Grim Reaper is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 30.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 35.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 3.

What it does

Grim Reaper is a Frost and Shadow spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). 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.
