  • Not available on that edition (the reason is in the tooltip)
  • Depends on the setting, your class or another addon (details in the tooltip)

What it does

Checks if the unit specified is dead or a ghost. A unit that does not exist makes the condition unavailable rather than false.

Why you might use it

Matches when a unit is dead or a ghost. Use it for resurrection steps, such as Rebirth, Raise Ally or an out-of-combat Resurrection on a dead friendly mouseover or target, and under NOT to keep damage and healing steps from pointing at a corpse. A unit that does not exist, or cannot be read, makes the condition unavailable rather than false. See also Attackable.

Example

your mouseover target is dead or a ghost
