How it works

Each cast of Frost Strike costs 35 Runic Power. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

Frost Strike is built from 4 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.
  4. Effect 4 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Frost Strike.

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 #222026), Frost Strike Off-Hand and Frost Strike (record #325464).

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.
