You become encased in a block of ice, protecting you from all physical attacks and spells for 4 sec, but during that time you cannot attack, move or cast spells. Also causes Hypothermia, preventing you from recasting Ice Block for 30 sec.

How it works

Each cast of Ice Block costs 15 Mana. Its dispel type is client id 1.

Ice Block is built from 3 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 39.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 39.

What it does

Ice Block is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 4 sec. When cast it applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the invulnerable 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.
