How it works

Shield Bash is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 50. It applies the interrupted mechanic.
  2. Effect 2 is Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 10.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.

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 has a Knock Back effect with the interrupted mechanic, deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 10) and applies an aura.

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.
