If you dont see the purpose of Knockdown, either you're a bad fighter, or your opponet is.

At the moment, docs are a horrendous healer, negating all damage you did in about 5 seconds. The only way to counter this is to have them settup with the armor break, get their health low, and KD right before they heal. They may only be down 2 seconds, but that is long enough to kill them, when they would have otherwised healed.


KD can also help stop kiters.


Winning a fight isnt about getting a Dizzy+KD anymore. Instead, a Dizzy+KD can help win a fight, as it should be. The difference in the 2 is small, but crucial

You've missed the point.

I was saying how SOE made it so that TK can no longer own everything with the dizzy+KD combo. BUT then gave ranged people that exact same combo (Root) with no way for us to counter it.

root is not a knockdown, and it is supposed to break on damage. So I'm not sure what comparison you're making.

Roots do not break on damage, only Dazes. The pistoleer root, Stopping Shot, does not break on damage...it lasts for X amount of time (depending on which level you get hit with).

Ah, you're right, I did miss the point.

However, there is still a HUGE difference between root and Dizzy+KD


To begin, Dizzy+KD was in large part a game of chance, rather or not you got back up was a dice roll, and you could, in theory, all though the odds were limited, stay KDed till that dizzy wore off.

With root, your rooted for X seconds, period.

Also, with root, you're not totally defenseless. You can still heal, run CoB, and fight back.

I have won fights by Lunging the final blow of a guy as he ran away from me while I was rooted.

Roots can hurt, but they arent endgame.

Time your final knockdown(medium health, low action)- and use it to deplete his action until then.

(Clue: Knockdown recovery is expensive in action)

I agree. Roots can be a pain, but they shouldn't be the death of you. KD leaves you very, very vulnerable, but rooted you can CoB and dodge most of their attacks anyway, plus you can still heal if they run out of melee range (at least hit a stim even if you aren't a medic).

What's this we crap? Template dictates your potential ability, skill dictates how much of that potentail you use. As a TKM/Swordsman/DOC I can take out most ranged guys in a quick rush if I can get and stay close enough to them. Betwene stims, and CoB, Roots really dont bother me. Use cover, and don't make the rest of us look bad.
