Tooltip

Strikes fear in an enemy, causing it to flee in terror for 6 sec. Only 1 target can be feared at a time.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 26.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 7. Its area radius is 30 yards.

What it does

Fear is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it applies an aura and applies an aura in a 30 yard radius. The client files the whole spell under the fleeing 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.
