How it works

Each cast of Freeze costs 98 Mana. Its dispel type is client id 1.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 139 per tick. It scales with 0.1 times spell power. It ticks every 3 sec, 5 times over the full 15 sec (695 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.

What it does

Freeze is a Frost spell with a 3.5 sec cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 15 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 3 sec and applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the stunned mechanic.

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.
