How it works

Shield Smash is built from 4 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 75.
  2. Effect 2 is Interrupt Cast (effect type 68).
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 27.
  4. Effect 4 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -20.

What it does

Shield Smash is a Physical spell with a 1 sec cast, a range of 5 yards and effects that last 4 sec. When cast it deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 75), interrupts spellcasting 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.
