Touch of Death

How it works

Touch of Death is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 165, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 99.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 66.

What it does

Touch of Death is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 200 yards 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.
