I couldnt wait to be able to dizzy someone then knock their butts down the finish them off. I'm not a pvper so I use this on creatures and npc's. They dont stay knocked down after dizzy. I know when I am dizzied and knocked down I stay down and get whipped. Am I not understanding how this works, or am I doing something wrong? Please help.

Creatures don't fall back down when dizzy and KD'ed, just NPCs. NPCs will stand up and have a good chance of falling back down, not always, but most of the time, until the dizzy wears off.

I should add: use warcry also to keep the down for the duration.

one thing that happened erlier today was awesome....
I was grouping wiht my at st last night for higher missions.....i go to a rebel town when i am done so i can get iced and loose my overt status....it works, computer crashes while loading clone....i forget about ti
long on to day...clone twice...lost 6% decay
...and was overt....
...and was overt....i get jumped by some tka commando who took a Pixie, so his health was high and his action was buffed...
I switch to tka so i can target the mind...i am doing like 70 damage a hit....and dying fast...
I try to knock him down, but it keeps failing to do it...i assume he has high defense....so i try to warcry him...
that works....
i start whacking at the mind some more, but he is buffed with food or somthing, and i am not doing enuff damage....
i pull out the pike and apply some bleeds....the timer is almost up and the first bleed hasn't ticked yet! oh no....
switch to tka....dizzy him...first try
switch to pike....leg hit 2, leg hit 2, leg hit 2...
he starts flopping around...eekk!! and i have HAMed myself nearly to death...
i try to warcry again....took 2 tries...sucess!! by now he is frustraigted i'd imagine becouse he hasn't moved for quite some time...
leg hit 2 leg hit 2......and he is out....and i have no mind to spare....
i am going to have to work on alternating warcry and dizzy more....it was niiiicee....a veryyy nicceeee

You as a player with High def vs kd and dizzy will get stay down until you are dead but the NPCs will only stay down for a very short period of time. The NPCs are much more resilient than you will EVER be when it comes to dizzy/kd.

Spin attack 2 dizzies. So keep warcrying once they are down? I'll have to try that. Got a +15intimidate +14warcry undershirt this weekend. Helpw a lot!

I have also found that the warcry has a greater chance of sticking if they are already knocked down.
So do the warcry THEN the dizzy.

don't keep trying to re apply warcry. it won't work, they will resist it.
Before warcry is done, tag them with dizzy, there is an excelent chanc ethat dizzy will keep them down long enuff to tag them with warcry again, but if the 10-20 second timer ont the 1st warcry is not up, you have to wait.
