How it works

Shattering Backhand is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 254, which the datamine does not name.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 164, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Crystal Encasement.

What it does

Shattering Backhand is a spell with an instant cast and an unlimited range. It also casts Crystal Encasement.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the current retail game build. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
