Sends out an ice blast that stuns and damages enemies in a cone in front of the caster, then inflicts additional Frost damage every 3 sec. for 6 sec.

How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1.

Freeze is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 2.5323 per tick. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 20 yards. It ticks every 3 sec, 2 times over the full 6 sec (5.06 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. Its area radius is 20 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 4.6848. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 20 yards.

What it does

Freeze is a Frost spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 20 yard radius every 3 sec, applies an aura in a 20 yard radius and deals Frost damage (base value 4.6848) in a 20 yard radius. 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.
