How it works

Each cast of Frostbolt Volley costs 300 Mana. It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts. Its dispel type is client id 1.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 38.0648. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 200 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 200 yards.

What it does

Frostbolt Volley is a Frost spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), an 8 sec cooldown and effects that last 4 sec. When cast it deals Frost damage (base value 38.0648) in a 200 yard radius and applies an aura with the snared mechanic in a 200 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.
