Inflicts 7 Physical damage to an enemy and stunning it for 2 sec.

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.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 7.

What it does

Knockdown is a Physical spell with a 0.5 sec cast, a range of 5 yards, an 11 sec cooldown and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it applies an aura and deals Physical damage (base value 7). The client files the whole spell under the stunned mechanic.

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.
