Raise Dead

Tooltip

Raises a Ghoul to fight by your side. If no humanoid corpse that yields experience or honor is available, you must supply Corpse Dust to complete the spell. You can have a maximum of one Ghoul at a time.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

  1. Effect 1 is Summon Pet (effect type 56). Its area radius is 0.5 yards.

What it does

Raise Dead is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards, a 3 min cooldown and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it summons a pet in a 0.5 yard radius.

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.
