How often do they actually knockdown?
How long does each knockdown last?
Are they worth using? Or, is there a better ranged knockdown that I should use (can be a rifle or pistol special)...
Thanks...
I dont plan on going smuggler or BH, so, forget about any of those specials...

I don't now if ChargeShot2 has a higher chance of knocking down or not. It has a cone effect though that can effectmore than one thing at once creating an area knockdown effect. No knockdown has a duration per say.. What you run into is after applying the dizzy status effect, and you try to do a posture change (/stand) you have a chance of falling back over.

Anyone know what % of the time they actually knockdown the target?

I usually attempt to stun anything before I kd it. Stun apperently 'lowers some stats'....who knows what stats those actually lower though, however it does seem to help. Id say I kd about 70% of everyone I attempt to kd but about 75% of those people probably have no defense against kd. Itd be interesting to test this ingame with a friend who has 35+ defense vs kd, and also to test how much stun helps.

KD timer is 5 seconds and the Immune timer is 30 seconds, which doesn't take effect until the KD actually sticks.

The % chance of landing KD is a formula based on the target, so nobody can quote you one or even multiple numbers.

BTW, Dizzy is supposed to last 20 seconds but it seems like it varies....

Dizzy probably varies according to combat equilirium of the opponent. Just an educated guess though.
