How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 96, which the datamine does not name.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 25.

What it does

Headbutt is a spell with an instant cast and a range of 40 yards. When cast it has a Knock Back effect.

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.
