Lingering frost slowly freezes the target, slowing movement speed by 5%. After reaching 5 stacks, the target is stunned for 6 sec.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is 5. It applies the snared mechanic.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 226. Its base value is 10 per tick. It applies the snared mechanic. It ticks every 0.2 sec, 20 times over the full 5 sec (200 base in total).

What it does

Icy Ground is a Frost spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it applies an aura with the snared mechanic and applies an aura with the snared mechanic every 0.2 sec. It stacks up to 10 times.

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.
