How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

  1. Effect 1 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 1665 per tick. Its area radius is 8 yards. It ticks every 2 sec, 3 times over the full 6 sec (4995 base in total).

What it does

Blizzard is a Frost spell with a 1.5 sec cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in an 8 yard radius every 2 sec.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Wrath of the Lich King client, build 3.80.2.69874. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
