How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 87. Its base value is 50.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -15.

What it does

Cryoshards is a Frost spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 12 sec. When cast it applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the snared mechanic.

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.
