How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 50. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 77, which the datamine does not name.

What it does

Snowball is a spell with an instant cast and a range of 30 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.
