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

With Master of Ghouls (Unholy specialization), the ghoul becomes a permanent pet under the death knight's control.

Background

• 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

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

Patch changes

• Patch 3.2.0 (04-Aug-2009): This spell will no longer give two errors when the casting player lacks the reagent to cast it. 
  
• Patch 3.1.0 (14-Apr-2009): Duration lowered to 60 sec. and cooldown lowered to 3 min. The cooldown on this ability now begins when the pet dies rather than when it is summoned. 
  
• Patch 3.0.8 (2009-01-20): Raise Dead has now been split into two spells:
  • Raise Dead now raises a ghoul or pet ghoul (if talented). Requires  [Corpse Dust] if no humanoid corpse is nearby.
  • Raise Ally now raises a fallen party member and has no reagent. Available at level 72.
