How it works

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

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

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 77, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 15891. Its area radius is 30 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -50. It applies the snared mechanic. Its area radius is 4 yards.

What it does

Frost Strike is a Frost spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 4 sec. When cast it applies an aura with the snared mechanic in a 4 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.
