Well guys I have made my knockdown / cripple strike test pet. I also found a nice Teras Kasi Master who didnt mind being experimented on.Thanks Ack-ock.
What I found was knockdown doesnt work at all. It doesnt do anything if you tell the pet to use it. It was broken before and looks like its still broken.
However crippling strike does work.
I can spam cripple strike and my pet was happily hitting Ack-ock with posture down on every attack.
Ack-ock explained to me though, that a target has a timer that needs to count down before you can effect a posture change on it again. Guess TKMs would know all about this with their knockdown attack.
But the good news is I was getting a Teras Kasi to kneel quite regularly even though he had 40 defense against posture down.
Im off to look for DNA that has cripple strike and dizzy strike now.

Think poison and disease work abit differently than the other special attacks since it's a DoT attack. My gaping spiders did the poison attack when I initiated combat with it, didn't try it after that.....their ranged didn't seem to work though but maybe I were just out of range or something.
Er guys you know you can only have ranged attack in certain skins?
As a BE if I put ranged attack into a cat form it never gets used. Even worse sometimes it attacks from range but doesnt actually fire. Which means a kitty sitting 20m from the target doing absolutely nothing.
The only skins that I have confirmed use their ranged attack are bluurgs and kwis. There are probably others but probably not that many.
The bluurgs and kwis with ranged use it every time I tell them toattack. Unless they get too close in which case they use melee attack.
