How it works

Frost Tomb is built from 4 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 10.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 4.5 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 360 times over the full 6 min (1620 base in total).
  4. Effect 4 is effect type 164, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Primal Blizzard.

What it does

Frost Tomb is a Frost spell with an instant cast, a range of 300 yards and effects that last 6 min. When cast it deals Frost damage (base value 10), applies an aura and applies an aura every 1 sec. The client files the whole spell under the frozen mechanic. It also casts Primal Blizzard.

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.
