How it works

Sound Barrier is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 255. Its base value is -70.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 260.

What it does

Sound Barrier is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 500 yards and effects that last 30 sec. When cast it 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.
