How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Interrupt Cast (effect type 68). Its base value is 5. It applies the interrupted mechanic.
  2. Effect 2 is Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 125.

What it does

Shield Bash is a Physical spell with a 2 sec cast, a range of 5 yards and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it interrupts spellcasting with the interrupted mechanic and deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 125).

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.
