Freezes an enemy in place for 5 sec.

How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 26.

What it does

Freezing Trap is a Frost spell with an instant cast, a range of 10 yards and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the frozen mechanic.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70631. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
