Icicle

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. Its base value is 1 per tick. It ticks every 1.7 sec. It triggers Ice Shards.
  2. Effect 2 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 4.

What it does

Icicle is a Frost spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 1.7 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1.7 sec and leaves a persistent area effect on the ground. It also casts Ice Shards.

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.
