Turn Evil is a paladin class talent that causes the target to run in fear for up to 40 seconds. Only one target can be affected by the spell at any time. Turn Evil can only be used on Undead, Aberration and Demon targets. Note that despite functioning as a fear effect, Turn Evil is considered to 'turn' the target, and so is not prevented by abilities that prevent fear.

Notes[]

  • Turn Evil is subject to diminishing returns, and lasts 8 seconds in PvP.
  • Turn Evil does not work on Forsaken or death knight players, who are considered humanoid.
