How it works

Siege Shell is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3).
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 160, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 171605. It triggers Siegebreaker Blast.

What it does

Siege Shell is a spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). It also casts Siegebreaker Blast.

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.
