Blasts nearby enemies for Frost damage and freezes them in place for up to 4 sec.

How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 5550. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 60 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. Its area radius is 60 yards.

What it does

Flash Freeze is a Frost spell with a 0.2 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 4 sec. When cast it deals Frost damage (base value 5550) in a 60 yard radius and applies an aura in a 60 yard radius. The client files the whole spell under the stunned mechanic.

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.
