Backhands an enemy, inflicting 18 Physical damage and stunning it for 1 sec.

How it works

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

Backhand 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 18.

What it does

Backhand is a Physical spell with an instant cast, a range of 5 yards, a 6 sec cooldown and effects that last 1 sec. When cast it applies an aura and deals Physical damage (base value 18). The client files the whole spell under the stunned mechanic.

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.
