Tooltip

Launch a frost trap to the target location that freezes all enemies in 6 yards, preventing all action for 10 sec.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 6 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. It applies the stunned mechanic. Its area radius is 6 yards.

What it does

Freezing Trap is a Physical and Frost spell with a 1.5 sec cast, a range of 30 yards, a 40 sec cooldown and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it applies an aura with the stunned mechanic in a 6 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.
