Tooltip

Throws an axe at an enemy, inflicting Physical damage and knocking them back.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

Throw Axe is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 125. Its area radius is 40 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 50. Its area radius is 40 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers spell id 127554.

What it does

Throw Axe is a Physical spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards and a 5 sec cooldown. When cast it deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 125) in a 40 yard radius and has a Knock Back effect in a 40 yard radius.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70268. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
