Frozen Ground

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Create Area Effect (effect type 179).
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 160, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Army of the Frozen Dead.

What it does

Frozen Ground is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it has a Create Area Effect effect. It also casts Army of the Frozen Dead.

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.
