Reduces your pet's threat, making creatures less likely to attack it. While cowering, your pet takes less damage.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

  1. Effect 1 is Threat (effect type 63). Its base value is -55.

What it does

Cower is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and a 20 sec cooldown. When cast it changes threat.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Wrath of the Lich King client, build 3.80.2.69874. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
