Tooltip

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

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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 Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 100.

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 a percentage of weapon damage (base value 100).

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Burning Crusade client, build 2.5.6.70006. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
