Inflicts Frost damage to an enemy and reduces its movement speed for 9 sec.

How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Frost Breath is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 40. Its area radius is 50 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 89. Its base value is 40 per tick. Its area radius is 30 yards. It ticks every 1 sec, 9 times over the full 9 sec (360 base in total).
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. It applies the stunned mechanic. Its area radius is 30 yards.

What it does

Frost Breath is a Frost spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 9 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 30 yard radius every 1 sec and applies an aura with the stunned mechanic in a 30 yard radius. It stacks up to 20 times.

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.
