Description
Corpse run or spirit healer? Stop guessing.
You just died. The graveyard is miles away. Do you run back as a ghost, or take the spirit healer's resurrection sickness and the durability hit?
Run or Rez answers that the moment you release your spirit, and points you straight to your corpse.
How it decides
Most players compare the corpse run against the sickness timer. That leaves something out: if you take the spirit healer, you still have to walk back, alive, slower, and with mobs on you, while the sickness ticks down.
Run or Rez compares:
- Run: distance to your corpse ÷ your actual ghost speed.
- Spirit healer: the longer of walking back (on foot or mounted) or waiting out the sickness, plus the extra 25% durability loss, priced in gold from your own gear.
Then you get a clear verdict: Run back to your corpse, Resurrect at the spirit healer, or It's a toss-up.
Not coming back to this spot? It tells you that too: the spirit healer only costs you the repair bill.
Features
- Instant verdict when you release your spirit, updated live as you move.
- Arrow to your corpse that turns green when you're facing it. Hit autorun and go.
- Spirit healer warning: if you talk to the spirit healer when running is clearly faster, you get a heads-up before you click.
- Dungeon deaths: tells you to run to the entrance, since the spirit healer gains you nothing there.
- Time saved counter: every corpse run is tracked. Type
/ror statsto see how much time and gold Run or Rez has saved you, then share it. - Options panel under Options → AddOns, or type
/ror. - Lightweight: only active while you're a ghost.

FAQ
Does it move my character for me? No. Addons can't move your character, and that would be botting anyway. Run or Rez only shows information. The green arrow tells you when to hit autorun.
Does it work on Hardcore? It disables itself on Hardcore realms, since there's no spirit healer there. It also stays hidden in battlegrounds.
The estimate is a bit off for my route. The distance is a straight line, multiplied by a path factor (1.25 by default) to account for hills, water and walls. Raise it in the options if your runs take longer than estimated.
Why does it say "+? repair"? The repair estimate comes from your gear's current repair cost after death. If the game doesn't report it (for example after a PvP death with no durability loss), it shows "?" instead of guessing.
