How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 13.5 per tick. It ticks every 2 sec, 600 times over the full 20 min (8100 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 260. Its base value is 2.

What it does

Frozen Ground is a Frost spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 20 min. When cast it applies an aura every 2 sec and 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.
