The caster lets out a blast of icy breath, inflicting Frost damage and reducing movement speed by 25% for 6 sec to all enemies in a cone in front of the caster.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 250. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -25. It scales with 1 times spell power. It applies the snared mechanic. Its area radius is 10 yards.

What it does

Frost Breath is a Frost spell with a 2.5 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 250) in a 10 yard radius and applies an aura with the snared mechanic in a 10 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.
