Deep Freeze

Tooltip

Channels a beam of frost, rendering the target unable to move for 3 sec. When the effect ends, the target will be encased in ice, inflicting 50.378 Frost damage and stunning them for 15 sec. If the ice surrounding the target is destroyed, the target will be released.

How it works

Deep Freeze is built from 4 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 56.
  3. Effect 3 is Summon (effect type 28).
  4. Effect 4 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 50.378 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 15 times over the full 15 sec (755.67 base in total).

What it does

Deep Freeze is a Frost spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 15 sec. When cast it applies an aura, summons a creature and applies an aura every 1 sec. The client files the whole spell under the stunned 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.
