Backlash

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 50.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.

What it does

Backlash is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it has a Knock Back effect and applies an aura.

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.

Multiple client spell records exist

The game client stores 13 separate Spell records named "Backlash". This page is record #1266002. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page.
