How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 30 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 60 times over the full 1 min (1800 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -20.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 260.

What it does

Frost Patch is a Frost spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 1 min. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec and applies an aura.

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.
