Blizzard

Tooltip

Calls down a blizzard that lasts 12 sec., inflicting 46.5113 Frost damage every 2 sec. to all enemies in a selected area.

How it works

Each cast of Blizzard costs 100 Mana. It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

  1. Effect 1 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 46.5113 per tick. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 10 yards. It ticks every 2 sec, 6 times over the full 12 sec (279.07 base in total).

What it does

Blizzard is a Frost spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range, a 3 sec cooldown and effects that last 12 sec. When cast it leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in a 10 yard radius every 2 sec.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the current retail game build. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
