How it works

Each cast of Frost Strike costs 25 Energy. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 1.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Frost Strike.
  3. Effect 3 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Frost Strike Off-Hand.

What it does

Frost Strike is a Frost spell with an instant cast and a range of 5 yards. It also casts Frost Strike (record #283528) and Frost Strike Off-Hand.

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.
