Lichborne Leech increased by 10% and immune to Charm, Fear and Sleep. Undead. Duration: 10 sec

Lichborne is a death knight ability learned at level 33. It makes the death knight undead for 10 seconds, granting immunity to charm, fear, and sleep effects, and increases leech by 10%. It can be used even when already affected.

Notes

Becoming undead has a number of consequences for the death knight:

• Allows the death knight to heal themself with [Death Coil].
• Makes the death knight susceptible to abilities able to target Undead mobs, such as [Shackle Undead] and [Turn Evil]
• Prevents certain abilities from being used on the death knight, such as [Sap], [Polymorph] and [Hex]

Removing Lichborne does not remove CCs.

Lichborne is not affected by the global cooldown.
