How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 18. Its area radius is 100 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 100. Its area radius is 100 yards.

What it does

Backlash is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and a range of 100 yards. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 18) in a 100 yard radius and has a Knock Back effect in a 100 yard radius.

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.
