Tooltip

Calls down an ice storm that lasts 9 sec, inflicting Frost damage every 1 sec. to all enemies in a selected area.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

  1. Effect 1 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 0.6996 per tick. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 5 yards. It ticks every 1 sec, 9 times over the full 9 sec (6.3 base in total).

What it does

Ice Storm is a Frost spell with a 2 sec cast, a range of 30 yards, a 30 sec cooldown and effects that last 9 sec. When cast it leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in a 5 yard radius every 1 sec.
