Inflicts 20 damage to an enemy, stunning it for 2 sec.

How it works

Shield Slam is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 20. It scales with 1 times spell power.

What it does

Shield Slam is a Physical spell with an instant cast, a range of 5 yards and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it applies an aura and deals Physical damage (base value 20). The client files the whole spell under the stunned mechanic.

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.
