How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1.

Cone of Cold is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 75. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -50. Its area radius is 10 yards.

What it does

Cone of Cold is a Frost spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 75) in a 10 yard radius and applies an aura in a 10 yard radius.

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.
