Raise Dead is a level 56 Death knight ability that allows the death knight to raise a Risen Ghoul to fight for you for a limited time. This creature can perform a number of attacks including Fear, apply disease, stun, cause a target bleed and pummel.

With the Master of Ghouls talent, the Ghoul becomes a permanent pet under the Death Knight's control.

If no dead humanoid bodies are around, [Corpse Dust] must be used.

Background Edit

Raise Dead and other similar abilities have been a staple of the Warcraft series, commonly used by practitioners of necromancy, including Necrolyte units in Warcraft, Death Knight units in Warcraft II, and Necromancer units in Warcraft III.

Notes Edit

Even if you aren't Unholy-specced, don't forget that Raise Dead is still a DPS cooldown!
