Stuns all enemies in the arena for up to 12 sec, with stun duration lower for players further from the caster.

How it works

Blowback is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. Its base value is 150. Its area radius is 300 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 164, which the datamine does not name. Its area radius is 300 yards. It triggers Demon's Vigor.
  3. Effect 3 is effect type 164, which the datamine does not name. Its area radius is 300 yards. It triggers Creator's Grace.

What it does

Blowback is a Holy spell with an instant cast, a range of 300 yards and effects that last 12 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 300 yard radius. The client files the whole spell under the stunned mechanic. It also casts Demon's Vigor and Creator's Grace.

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.
