How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1.

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 85.6457. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 100 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 319. Its base value is -75. Its area radius is 30 yards.

What it does

Frost Breath is a Frost spell with a 1 sec cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 4 sec. When cast it deals Frost damage (base value 85.6457) in a 100 yard radius and applies an aura in a 30 yard radius. The client files the whole spell under the stunned 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.
