The Frostbite inflicts 1950 to 2050 Frost damage every 2 sec and reduces move speed by 5% for 20 sec.

How it works

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 3. Its base value is 1950 per tick. It ticks every 2 sec, 10 times over the full 20 sec (19500 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -5.

What it does

Frostbite is a Frost spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 20 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 2 sec and applies an aura. It stacks up to 100 times.

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.
