Freeze

Tooltip

Sends out an ice blast that stuns and damages enemies in a cone in front of the caster, then inflicts additional Frost damage every 3 sec. for 10 sec.

How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 150 per tick. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 20 yards. It ticks every 3 sec.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. Its area radius is 20 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 800. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 20 yards.

What it does

Freeze is a Frost spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 20 yard radius every 3 sec, applies an aura in a 20 yard radius and deals Frost damage (base value 800) in a 20 yard radius. The client files the whole spell under the stunned mechanic.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the WoW Forever beta client, build 1.60.1.70374. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
