Tooltip

Inflicts 10 Physical damage to an enemy, knocks it back, and reduces its threat.

How it works

Spells that share its cooldown category wait 3 sec after it is cast. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 10.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 175.
  3. Effect 3 is effect type 77, which the datamine does not name.

What it does

Knock Away is a Physical spell with a 1 sec cast, a range of 10 yards and an 11 sec cooldown. When cast it deals Physical damage (base value 10) and 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.
