MageTooltip
Ice shards pelt the target area doing Frost damage over 8 sec.
How it works
Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.
Blizzard is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:
- Effect 1 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 44. It scales with 0.119 times spell power. Its area radius is 8 yards.
- Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 1 sec, 8 times over the full 8 sec. It triggers Blizzard.
What it does
Blizzard is a Frost spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in an 8 yard radius and applies an aura every 1 sec. It also casts Blizzard (record #42209).
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.
