I can only get this to work once against an opponent, repeated attempts give a message that it failed to KD my opponent. Anybody else had this problem? Or am I doing something wrong?
Similar problem with pike leg sweep which is an area affect and very handy!

If you fail, you have to wait a while before you can try again.
This was changed within the first few months of the game, as it made TK's godly, as they could repeatedly KD/Dizzy the enemy. The timer has changed since.

Yes, Sweep Attack is an area attack KD.
Knockdown attacks are on a timer for everyone. Once you use a Knockdown attack on a mob, you won't be able to knock it down again after a set time, 30 seconds the last I knew. If you do try another Knockdown attack on it before the timer is over, you will do whatever damage that attack normally does, but you'll get a message saying your knockdown attack failed.
The Knockdown/Dizzy combo was related but not the same thing, and wasn't limited to TK. I thought that was kept in game until the CU too but I could be wrong. You could Dizzy and then KD it andthere was a good chance that it would repeatedly fall down when it tried to get back up.

Problem was, pre-KD nerf (which was aeons before the CU) you could repeatedly use KD/Dizzy, so if they did manage to get up from KD/Dizzy, you could immediately do it again.

Pikeman sweep is much more effective than the TKA version. You can manage to get at least one,maybe two hits before they recover plus it affects the whole mob not just a single opponent (gives you some respite when you've forgotten to CoB 
) TKA sweep attack you are lucky to get an attack in even if you land a dizzy attack before.
) TKA sweep attack you are lucky to get an attack in even if you land a dizzy attack before.I can understand the timer between KD's but it does seem to be much longer than 30 seconds. I can generally handle the heat from 2 Huurtons two CL's above me and just about 3 if I'm on top form. By the time I get to the third I need a bit of respite to gain that extra bacta shot, but can't KD the last one because I've used it earlier, I would say at least 2 minutes earlier.

I'm not sure that the KD's are global, though - I seem to recall trying a spin attack, having that fail, then throwing a leg sweep that succeeded. I'll run some tests to be sure, though. If that does work, it makes a nice synergy....
