How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 13.3227 per tick. Its area radius is 60 yards. It ticks every 1 sec, 5 times over the full 5 sec (66.61 base in total).
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. Its area radius is 60 yards.

What it does

Freezing Breath is a Frost spell with an instant cast, a range of 60 yards and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 60 yard radius every 1 sec and applies an aura in a 60 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.
