How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 48 per tick. It ticks every 3 sec, 2 times over the full 6 sec (96 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -10. It applies the snared mechanic.

What it does

Frostbite is a Frost spell with an instant cast, a range of 5 yards and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 3 sec and applies an aura with the snared mechanic. The client files the whole spell under the snared mechanic. It stacks up to 10 times.

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.
