How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 1 sec, 6 times over the full 6 sec. It triggers Shell Spin.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -20.

What it does

Shell Spin is a spell with a 2.5 sec cast, a range of 50 yards and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec and applies an aura. It also casts Shell Spin (record #427190).

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.
