How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 48. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -50. It applies the snared mechanic.

What it does

Frost Blast is a Frost spell with a 2 sec cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 4 sec. When cast it deals Frost damage (base value 48) and applies an aura with the snared 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.
