When Frostfire Bolt critically strikes, it applies 1 additional stacks of Freezing.

Each stack of Freezing that you Shatter deals (27.3% of Spell Power) damage to nearby enemies. Damage reduced beyond 5 targets.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 1.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 5.

What it does

Frostbite is a spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it 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.
