How it works

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

Frost Breath is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 50 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 10 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. It applies the stunned mechanic. Its area radius is 25 yards.

What it does

Frost Breath is a Frost spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it applies an aura with the stunned mechanic in a 25 yard radius.

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.
