Playing Dead, tricking enemies into ignoring them. Lasts up to 6 min.
How it works
It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.
Play Dead is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:
- Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 66.
- Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.
- Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 332. Its base value is 210000.
What it does
Play Dead is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards, a 30 sec cooldown and effects that last 6 min. 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.
