Inflicts normal damage plus 9 to an enemy, knocking it back and stunning it for 4 sec.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 9.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 150.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.

What it does

Knockout is a Physical spell with an instant cast, a range of 10 yards and effects that last 4 sec. When cast it deals Physical damage (base value 9), has a Knock Back effect and applies an aura.

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.
