Bashes an enemy with the caster's shield, inflicting Physical damage and interrupting the spell being cast for 8 sec.

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 School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 52.5. It scales with 1 times spell power.

What it does

Shield Bash is a Physical spell with an instant cast, a range of 5 yards and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it interrupts spellcasting with the interrupted mechanic and deals Physical damage (base value 52.5).

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.
