How it works

  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 75. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 10 yards.

What it does

Tail Sweep is a Physical spell with an instant cast and a range of 30 yards. When cast it deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 50) in a 10 yard radius and has a Knock Back effect in a 10 yard radius. The client files the whole spell under the stunned mechanic.
