Well when every level 80 mob is also a BH/Pistoleer it's kinda hard to stay unstunnned or on your feet.

Okay this has been coming up a lot lately.
Sometimes when you get a KD you won't know it for a couple seconds. You're standing fine and the message hasn't come up. Simple lag stuff.
Most specials, if you hit one after you have been KD but before your system catches up, you just get a red bocx and message saying "you cannot XXXXXX while knocked down". The cool down timer does not start on that special.
However, ti seems that our specials are exempt form this. If I try to do a Bacta or D-toss after getting a lagged KD, the cool down timer starts, but of course the special I was trying to perfrom does not take effect.
Just to illustrate this, to mkae sure that I am getting my point across
Regular move
T0: Server side I have been Knocked Down
Client Side I am fine
T+1 I execute /headshot
T+1.1 Client side gets that I am KD
System message "You may not headshot while knocked down"
Red box over my special on the tool bar, no cool down timer
