Posture Change/Knockdown attacks appear to be extremely powerful in PvP now, granting a definitive advantage against people with no knockdown/posture change defense. There is no timer against chaining knockdown and only melee professions/pistoleer has defense against it. Squad leader seems to be the best place to put some sort of defense vs these abilities, encouraging people to group for benefits and helping to flesh out the SL profession. If not a passive ability, then there should at least be a command on a timer that breaks group members out of Knockdown or grants Knockdown immunity for a period of time.

Knockdown is a good tactic, I know, but it is also extremely cheesy given that most people can't defend against it. I really wouldn't want something stupid like an immunity timer implemented, but there needs to be some measure against the ability.
