How it works

Shell Spin is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Create Area Effect (effect type 179).
  2. Effect 2 is Create Area Effect (effect type 179).
  3. Effect 3 is Create Area Effect (effect type 179).

What it does

Shell Spin is a spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 12 sec. When cast it has a Create Area Effect effect.

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.
