How it works

Spells that share its cooldown category wait 3 sec after it is cast. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 1.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 200. Its area radius is 20 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -50. It applies the snared mechanic. Its area radius is 20 yards.

What it does

Frostbolt Volley is a Frost spell with a 3 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 13 sec cooldown and effects that last 4 sec. When cast it deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 200) in a 20 yard radius and applies an aura with the snared mechanic in a 20 yard radius.

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.
