Snowball

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. Its base value is 1.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Missile (effect type 32). Its base value is 100. It triggers Snowball Knockback.

What it does

Snowball is a spell with a 0.5 sec cast, a range of 50 yards and effects that last 1 sec. When cast it applies an aura and launches a missile. It also casts Snowball Knockback.

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.
