Frozen Orb

Tooltip

Launches an orb of swirling ice which rapidly moves forward over 16 sec. While it is moving, every 1 sec the orb deals Frost Damage and applies a Chill for 30% movement speed reduction to all enemies it passes through. The first time it damages an enemy, its movement will slow and it will have a 100% chance to trigger the Fingers of Frost rune.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

  1. Effect 1 is Summon (effect type 28). Its base value is 1.

What it does

Frozen Orb is a Frost spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards, a 1 min cooldown and effects that last 16 sec. When cast it summons a creature.

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.
