When activated you become enraged, increasing your physical damage by 20% but increasing all damage taken by 5%. Lasts 30 sec.

How it works

Each cast of Death Wish costs 10 Rage. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 9.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 79. Its base value is 20.
  2. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 87. Its base value is 5.

What it does

Death Wish is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 3 min cooldown and effects that last 30 sec. When cast it applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the enraged 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.
