Death Grip

Tooltip

Draws your target before you with a beam of unholy power. This will also taunt the target, forcing enemies to attack you for 3 sec.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

  1. Effect 1 is Jump to Destination (effect type 42).

What it does

Death Grip is a spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and a 35 sec cooldown. When cast it makes the caster jump to a location. The client files the whole spell under the gripped mechanic.

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.
