Frozen Ground

How it works

Frozen Ground is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 260.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 10 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is 50.

What it does

Frozen Ground is a Frost spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura and applies an aura every 1 sec.

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.
