Notes
- Death Coil is a "horror" effect (the only member of this category, so far). As such, fear countering abilities will not be effective against it.
- Most creatures that are
[Fear] immune are also immune to Death Coil. This includes nearly all undead. - It is a binary spell, and as such it can only hit or miss. Neither critical hits nor partial resists are possible.
- [Fel Armor] does increase the life gained.
- Absorbing the damage from Death Coil does not prevent the horrify effect.
Tips and tactics
- Typically, Death Coil is followed up with the [Fear] spell against melee attackers, especially in PvP as the short horrify effect will prevent you from suffering casting pushback or lose your Fear spell to an interrupting skill such as [Kick] or [Pummel].
- It can be used to interrupt enemies' spellcasting.

Background
Death Coil was premiered in Warcraft II, where it was used by the Horde unit called the Death knight. It was used in much the same way as it is now, except against either friend or foe. The spell reappeared in Warcraft III as one of the powers of those death knights which serve the Lich King. This version of the spell dealt damage to living enemies, while healing their undead allies.
