Tooltip

Inflicts Frost damage to enemies in front of the caster. In addition, the targets' movement speed is slowed by 100% for 2 sec.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 100. It scales with 2 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -100. It scales with 1 times spell power. It applies the frozen mechanic.

What it does

Frost Breath is a Frost spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it deals Frost damage (base value 100) and applies an aura with the frozen 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.
