Tooltip

Calls down a blizzard that lasts 10 sec., inflicting 225 to 275 Frost damage every 2 sec. to all enemies in the nearby area.

How it works

  1. Effect 1 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 225 per tick. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 10 yards. It ticks every 2 sec, 5 times over the full 10 sec (1125 base in total).

What it does

Blizzard is a Frost spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in a 10 yard radius every 2 sec.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Burning Crusade client, build 2.5.6.70006. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
