Frost Armor

Tooltip

Increases Armor by 30. If an enemy strikes the caster, they may have their movement slowed by 30% and the time between their attacks increased by 25% for 5 sec. Only one type of Armor spell can be active on the Mage at any time. Lasts 30 min.

How it works

Each cast of Frost Armor costs 60 Mana. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 674. Its base value is 30.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 42. It triggers Chilled.

What it does

Frost Armor is a Frost spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 30 min. When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Chilled.

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.
