How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 982.292. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 20 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -50. It applies the ensnared mechanic. Its area radius is 20 yards.

What it does

Frostbolt Volley is a Frost spell with a 1.5 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 4 sec. When cast it deals Frost damage (base value 982.292) in a 20 yard radius and applies an aura with the ensnared mechanic in a 20 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.
