Tooltip

Inflicts 810 to 990 Frost damage to an enemy and reduces its movement speed by 50% for 6 sec.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts. Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -50. It applies the snared mechanic.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 810. It scales with 1 times spell power.

What it does

Frostbite is a Frost spell with an instant cast, a range of 20 yards, a 6 sec cooldown and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it applies an aura with the snared mechanic and deals Frost damage (base value 810).

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.
