How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 125. Its area radius is 40 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 50. Its area radius is 40 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers spell id 127556.

What it does

Throw Axe is a Physical spell with an instant cast and a range of 40 yards. When cast it deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 125) in a 40 yard radius and has a Knock Back effect in a 40 yard radius.

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.
