How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 5 sec. It triggers Frost Patch.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -40. It applies the snared mechanic.

What it does

Frost Patch is a Frost spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura every 5 sec and applies an aura with the snared mechanic. It also casts Frost Patch (record #252265).

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.
