Frost Armor

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Frost Armor is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 87. Its base value is -10.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 42. It triggers Chilled.

What it does

Frost Armor is a Frost spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Chilled.

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.
