Shell Spin

Tooltip

First Mate Nama hurls a spinning shell toward a player. The whirling shell will stun anyone it comes into contact with for 3 sec, friend or foe.

How it works

Shell Spin is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 300 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Create Area Effect (effect type 179). Its area radius is 2 yards.

What it does

Shell Spin is a spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 3.5 sec. When cast it has a Create Area Effect effect in a 2 yard radius.

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.
