How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 43. Its area radius is 50 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 101. Its area radius is 50 yards.

What it does

Freezing Blast is a Frost spell with a 3.5 sec cast, a range of 100 yards and a 6 sec cooldown. When cast it deals Frost damage (base value 43) in a 50 yard radius and has a Knock Back effect in a 50 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.
