How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 15.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 5 per tick. It ticks every 2 sec, 6 times over the full 12 sec (30 base in total).
  3. Effect 3 is Dummy (effect type 3).

What it does

Frost Orb is a Frost spell with an instant cast, a range of 300 yards and effects that last 12 sec. When cast it deals Frost damage (base value 15) and applies an aura every 2 sec.

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.
