Frost Trap Aura

Tooltip

Place a frost trap that creates an ice slick around itself for 30 sec when the first enemy approaches it. All enemies within 10 yards will be slowed by 50% while in the area of effect. Trap will exist for 30 sec. Only one trap can be active at a time.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -50. It scales with 1 times spell power. It applies the snared mechanic. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 23. Its area radius is 10 yards. It ticks every 2 sec, 15 times over the full 30 sec. It triggers spell id 18350.
  3. Effect 3 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 308. Its area radius is 10 yards.

What it does

Frost Trap Aura is a Frost spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 30 sec. When cast it leaves a persistent area effect on the ground with the snared mechanic in a 10 yard radius, leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in a 10 yard radius every 2 sec and leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in a 10 yard radius. The client files the whole spell under the snared mechanic.

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.
