How it works

Frost Breath is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 66. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 20 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Power Drain (effect type 8). Its base value is 128. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 20 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -50. It scales with 1 times spell power. It applies the snared mechanic. Its area radius is 20 yards.

What it does

Frost Breath is a Frost spell with a 2 sec cast, a range of 5 yards and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it deals Frost damage (base value 66) in a 20 yard radius, drains a resource from the target (base value 128) in a 20 yard radius and applies an aura with the snared mechanic in a 20 yard radius.

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.
