How it works

Shell Shocker is built from 4 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 203, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Shell Shocker.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.
  3. Effect 3 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 12.8959. Its area radius is 6 yards.
  4. Effect 4 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 150. Its area radius is 6 yards.

What it does

Shell Shocker is a Physical spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 4 sec. When cast it applies an aura, deals Physical damage (base value 12.8959) in a 6 yard radius and has a Knock Back effect in a 6 yard radius. It also casts Shell Shocker (record #149866).

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.
