Place a frost trap that freezes the first enemy that approaches, preventing all action for up to 20 sec. Any damage caused will break the ice. Trap will exist for 1 min. Traps can only be placed when out of combat. Only one trap can be active at a time.

How it works

Each cast of Freezing Trap costs 100 Mana. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 104, which the datamine does not name. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 2 yards.

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.
