Frost Trap

How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -60. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 23. Its area radius is 10 yards. It ticks every 2 sec, 15 times over the full 30 sec. It triggers Dummy Trigger.

What it does

Frost Trap is a Frost spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 30 sec. When cast it leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in a 10 yard radius and leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in a 10 yard radius every 2 sec. The client files the whole spell under the ensnared mechanic. It also casts Dummy Trigger.

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.
