How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 1.2371. Its area radius is 50 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 87. Its base value is 10. Its area radius is 50 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 226. Its base value is 75 per tick. Its area radius is 50 yards. It ticks every 1 sec, 3 times over the full 3 sec (225 base in total).

What it does

Permafrost is a Frost spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it deals Frost damage (base value 1.2371) in a 50 yard radius, applies an aura in a 50 yard radius and applies an aura in a 50 yard radius every 1 sec. It stacks up to 30 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.
