Attack

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 42. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 70.

What it does

Attack is a Physical spell with an instant cast and a range of 5 yards. When cast it deals Physical damage (base value 42) and has a Knock Back effect. The client files the whole spell under the rooted mechanic.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Wrath of the Lich King client, build 3.80.2.69874. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
