Encases the target in a block of ice.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Flash Freeze is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. Its area radius is 200 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 226. Its base value is 1 per tick. Its area radius is 200 yards. It ticks every 1 sec, 2 times over the full 2 sec (2 base in total).
  3. Effect 3 is effect type 61, which the datamine does not name.

What it does

Flash Freeze is a Frost spell with a 9 sec cast, an unlimited range, a 5 sec cooldown and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 200 yard radius and applies an aura in a 200 yard radius every 1 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.
