Background Edit

Death Coil is an iconic Death Knight ability that was first used by the Death Knight unit in Warcraft II, and was subsequently used by Death Knights in Warcraft III, and the tabletop RPG. In World of Warcraft, a variation of Death Coil was given to the Warlock class.

Improvements Edit

• Morbidity increases the damage and healing of Death coil by 5%/10%/15%
• Unholy Blight causes unholy insects to inflict 10% of Death Coil's damage over 10 seconds. Also prevents any Disease on the target from being dispelled.

Glyphs Edit

Notes Edit

• The Death Coil is technically the reverse spell of the Holy Light ability of the Paladin class. Wherein the Holy Light heals friendly living units and damages the Undead. The Death Coil works the opposite; It damages living enemies and heals the Undead.
• The Death Coil only heals your friendly Undead units. It does not work on enemy Undead.
