How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 1 sec, 5 times over the full 5 sec. 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 1 sec. It also casts Ice Shards (record #93542).

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.
