sorry for a nub question. I've been considering grinding out pikeman for a template that I just want to have fun abilities with.
It's my understanding that Leg Sweep is an area kd. Is this correct?
If so, how effectivie is it in pve and pvp?

Not too effective. In PvP it's a nice move to gain a second or two where you can attack/heal/etc, in pve the KD effect doesn't last long at all.
It's something that's nice to have but it's not near the power it was before.

I had the suggestion of maybe making this useful by making the KD from it break on damage. That way in crowd control situations, we could actually CONTROL the crowd.....

Stictly breaking on damage would be a bit too powerful, imo. Extending the timer with a break on damage would be a better solution, again, imo.

Well that part is in the proposal too. It was kinda long, and part of another discussion but only the area KD would act as a sort of "mez" kinda like concussion shot does for smugglers now.

Well, it's something I can add to the list but not something I'd see them willing to change.
With KD recovery now (good thing) KD in PvP will not be used as a major form of crowd control. They might be open to the idea of KD not breaking on a mob untill the timer is up or the mob takes damage. I'll add it to the list.

Don't get confused with Leg Sweep, that's a TKA attack.. though you probably have the base version of it from brawler. Advanced Sweep is what we get, and yes its an area KD. Its far from useless but it needs to be a little better I think.
