Howling Blast is a Death knight ability that allows the death knight to blast several targets around them for frost damage. While the tooltip damage may seem low, it benefits from your Attack Power (dealing about 1000 damage to targets inflicted with Frost Fever with 1500 AP, Glacier Rot and Black Ice).
