Blizzard

Tooltip

Calls down a blizzard that lasts 8 sec., inflicting 14625 to 15375 Frost damage every 1 sec. and slowing the movement speed of all enemies in a selected area by 40%.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

Blizzard is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 14625 per tick. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 8 yards. It ticks every 1 sec, 8 times over the full 8 sec (117000 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -40. Its area radius is 10 yards.

What it does

Blizzard is a Frost spell with an instant cast, a range of 45 yards, a 10 sec cooldown and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in an 8 yard radius every 1 sec and leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in a 10 yard radius.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70531. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.

The game client stores 146 separate Spell records named "Blizzard". This page is record #131555. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page. The 12 records closest by id are compared here.
