Knockdown

Tooltip

Inflicts 70 damage to an enemy and its nearest allies, stunning them for 2 sec. Affects targets.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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. It jumps to up to 3 targets.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 70. It jumps to up to 3 targets.

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 jumping to up to 3 targets and deals Physical damage (base value 70) jumping to up to 3 targets. 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.
