Ice shards erupt in all directions, dealing Frost damage and creating ice patches that deal additional frost damage.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 0.2 sec, 20 times over the full 5 sec. It triggers Ice Shards.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Ice Shards.

What it does

Ice Shards is a Frost spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 5 sec cooldown and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 0.2 sec. It also casts Ice Shards (record #93532) and Ice Shards (record #93543).

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.
