Freezing winds slash the target, inflicting Frost damage and reducing movement speed by 50% for 2 sec.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 222. Its area radius is 5 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is 50. Its area radius is 5 yards.

What it does

Freezing Winds is a Frost spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it deals Frost damage (base value 222) in a 5 yard radius and applies an aura in a 5 yard radius. The client files the whole spell under the snared 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.
