Blizzard

Tooltip

Calls down a blizzard that lasts 12 sec., inflicting 4375 to 5625 Frost damage every 2 sec. to all enemies in a selected area.

How it works

Each cast of Blizzard costs 100 Mana. It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

  1. Effect 1 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 4375 per tick. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 10 yards. It ticks every 2 sec, 6 times over the full 12 sec (26250 base in total).

What it does

Blizzard is a Frost spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range, a 3 sec cooldown and effects that last 12 sec. When cast it leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in a 10 yard radius every 2 sec.

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.
