Tooltip

The caster throws a knife at a player, inflicting 12 Physical damage and an additional 2.8 Physical damage every 1 sec for 3 sec.

How it works

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

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 12.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 2.8 per tick. It applies the bleeding mechanic. It ticks every 1 sec, 3 times over the full 3 sec (8.4 base in total).

What it does

Knife Throw is a Physical spell with a 1 sec cast, a range of 100 yards, a 1 sec cooldown and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it deals Physical damage (base value 12) and applies an aura with the bleeding mechanic every 1 sec.

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.
