Instantly strike the enemy, causing 60% weapon damage plus 150 as Frost damage. Can't be dodged, blocked, or parried.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. 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 121, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 250.
  2. Effect 2 is Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 60.

What it does

Frost Strike is a Frost spell with an instant cast, a range of 5 yards and a 6 sec cooldown. When cast it deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 60).

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.
