Deals 2000 Frost damage every 0.5 sec to all enemies standing within the radius of an ice patch on the ground. This effect will persist as long as the target remains in this area.

How it works

Ice Storm 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 2000 per tick. It ticks every 0.5 sec, 2 times over the full 1 sec (4000 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is 50.

What it does

Ice Storm is a Frost spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 1 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 0.5 sec and applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the snared 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.
