Feign death which may trick enemies into ignoring you. Lasts 6 min. If not cancelled, after 6 min you will actually die.
How it works
Each cast of Feign Death costs 80 Mana. It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.
- Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 66.
What it does
Feign Death is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 30 sec cooldown and effects that last 6 min. When cast it applies an aura.
