How it works

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

Permafrost is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 200. Its area radius is 200 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 87. Its base value is 10. Its area radius is 200 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 226. Its base value is 70 per tick. Its area radius is 200 yards. It ticks every 1 sec, 3 times over the full 3 sec (210 base in total).

What it does

Permafrost is a Frost spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it deals Frost damage (base value 200) in a 200 yard radius, applies an aura in a 200 yard radius and applies an aura in a 200 yard radius every 1 sec. It stacks up to 30 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.
