Feign Death

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.
  2. Effect 2 is Spawn (effect type 46).

What it does

Feign Death is a spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it applies an aura and has a Spawn effect.

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.
