Knockdown

Tooltip

Inflicts 70 damage to an enemy, stunning it for 2 sec.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 70.

What it does

Knockdown is a Physical spell with an instant cast, a range of 5 yards, a 5 sec cooldown and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it applies an aura and deals Physical damage (base value 70). The client files the whole spell under the stunned mechanic.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the WoW Forever beta client, build 1.60.1.70338. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
