How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 100 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). Its area radius is 100 yards. It triggers Strangulating.

What it does

Death Grip is a spell with an instant cast and an unlimited range. It also casts Strangulating.

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.
