Inflicts Frost damage to an enemy and reduces its movement speed for 8 sec.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 1.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 50.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -50. It applies the snared mechanic.

What it does

Frost Shock is a Frost spell with an instant cast, a range of 20 yards, a 2 sec cooldown and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 50) and applies an aura with the snared 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.
