Lunge was never stated as having a knock down in skills tree, and nor should it

anyone who has done any martial arts training or even had any sort of fight at all IRL

will be well aware that lunging at some1 is highly unlikely to knock them down

if anything it actually reduces your balance and your more likey to be the one on his a55.

THAT my dear ppls is what sweep techniques are all about

and incase u got too excited when u 1st learnt lunge to notice

we have sweep techniques

sweeping is for knocking some1 down

lunging is for hitting some1 out of normal striking distance

it makes sence, so stop complaining

u haven't lost the ability to knock some one down, what's the big problem??

it was one of the few ways we could actually catch up with a range user... knock them down when they are at 15m. Was our Only defence currently Vs Snare/Root... I knew it was going to get fixed... but i thought Root/Snare was going to get changed first.

Guess not.

OK all, Officially the response is

Lunge was never meant to actually have a knockdown effect, therefor it was changed to reflect what it was meant to do.

snipers dont kill in 1 shot either. jedi dont slice you in half in one swing.

comparing this game to rl is the most useless arguement i can think of.

bottom line is- it wasnt an overpowering move, it was balanced. noone called for the nerf.

I posted the response as well. The problem is that if you are either a fencer or swordsman, you do not have an advanced knock down ability. In fact if you are just swords, you have no KD attack at all. While yes I know this is not the swordsman/fencer forum, they also do not get the advanced KD like Pike and TK do. I still think they should put the KD effect back in lunge......

But if not, then they seriously need to add more damage, and maybe chill out the action cost a bit.
