How it works

  1. Effect 1 is Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 50.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 125.

What it does

Tail Swipe is a Physical spell with an instant cast and a range of 10 yards. When cast it deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 50) and has a Knock Back effect.
