How it works

Ice Storm 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 150 per tick. It ticks every 2 sec.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is 25.

What it does

Ice Storm is a Frost spell with an instant cast, a range of 60 yards and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura every 2 sec and applies an aura.
