Inflicts 8 Physical damage to all enemies behind the caster and knocks them back.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 8. Its area radius is 20 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 112. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 20 yards.

What it does

Tail Sweep is a Physical spell with an instant cast and a range of 20 yards. When cast it deals Physical damage (base value 8) in a 20 yard radius and has a Knock Back effect in a 20 yard radius. 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.
