Reanimates a nearby corpse, summoning a zombie for 20 sec that slowly moves towards your target.
If your zombie reaches its target, it explodes after 3.0 sec. The explosion stuns all enemies within 8 yards for 3 sec and deals 10% of their health in Shadow damage.
Reanimation is an Unholy death knight PvP talent. When used, it summons a homing, exploding zombie about 20 yards away from the target in a random direction.
Notes[]
Despite what the tooltip says, no corpse is required to use this spell.
If a target is within 20 yards of an obstacle (such as a wall), any zombies that spawn in that obstacle's direction will spawn in front of it, so that it doesn't come between them and the target. As a result, if a target is standing directly against an obstacle, summoned zombies have a chance of spawning on top of them and exploding almost immediately.
