How it works

Shield Bash is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Area Aura (Party) (effect type 35). It applies aura type 12. It applies the interrupted mechanic.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 8.1775.

What it does

Shield Bash is a Physical spell with an instant cast, a range of 5 yards and effects that last 1 sec. When cast it applies an aura to the party with the interrupted mechanic and deals Physical damage (base value 8.1775). The client files the whole spell under the stunned mechanic.

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.
