Backhands an enemy, inflicting Physical damage to targets in front of the caster. Ogres are particularly mean and can stun other ogres upon striking them.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 100.

What it does

Backhand is a Physical spell with a 1 sec cast, a range of 5 yards and a 5 sec cooldown. When cast it deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 100).
