Notes[]
- An attack roll is made against each creature in the cone, and a random number from 1 to 100 is generated. If this number is at least 50, and if the attack is successful, the target must pass a physical resistance check against the Broodmother's strength or take physical damage equal to the Broodmother's attack damage (with 5 bonus armor penetration) and is knocked down for 0.5-1.5s. In all other cases (attack is a miss, or random number is less than 50, or target passes the resistance check), the target takes half damage and is knocked back instead.
- These attacks cannot miss. A failed attack roll only results in a weaker impact. Against an invisible target, the impact damage will be negated, but the knockdown and knockback effects are applied normally, which will break stealth.
- The Broodmother's Sweep can critically hit.
- Note the ability icon is the sweep image but when hit on the player or companion as a debuff it is the tentacle icon.
