How it works

Each cast of Frost Armor costs 10 Mana. Its dispel type is client id 1. 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 22. Its base value is 97.0711.
  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, a range of 20 yards and effects that last 1 min. 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.
