How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 110.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 50.

What it does

Backhand is a Physical spell with an instant cast and a range of 5 yards. When cast it deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 110) and has a Knock Back effect.

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.
