How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 1500 per tick. Its area radius is 10 yards. It ticks every 2 sec, 5 times over the full 10 sec (7500 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -30. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 10 yards.

What it does

Blizzard is a Frost spell with an instant cast, a range of 45 yards and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it 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.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the WoW Forever beta client, build 1.60.1.70532. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
