Knock back (also known as punting) is an ability that lifts an enemy off the ground and knocks them back a certain distance.
The ability to 'knockback' is one that has traditionally only been given to mobs or NPCs (Non-Player Characters). They have been sought after by players in the past and has recently been implemented in Wrath of the Lich King.
Player abilities with a knockback effect:
- Druid talent Typhoon: 5 yard knockback.
- Shaman talent
[Thunderstorm]: 20 yard knockback.
- Mage talent
[Blast Wave]: knockback unknown. Probably between 10 and 15 yards.
