I dunno about the rest of you, but it seems I'm experience a massive increase in knockdown failures since this patch.. both knockdown1 and knockdown2..

anyone else feel the same way?

I haven't really noticed much of a change with KD success rate. I will pay more attention and see.

I havent failed a kd on another player yet since patch, but I do go sometimes 2 to 3 before I land one in pve. I think tho thats just you always make a mental note of the fails and dont keep track of the good you know. I'll be sure to watch more closely tonight tho when im out hunting.

Yes KD was nerfed, no doubt about it

I'm not sure it was... I actually noticed it failing a lot more a couple days before the patch.. So, i'm thinking i'm just having really bad luck with it.

It is so incredibly useless with NPCs that I don't even bother using it anymore. It will work one out of every 20 or so tries, and since the dizzy never sticks, they'll just be back up in 2 seconds anyway.

Realistically, against npc's I would say that resists are up a bit with KD. I usually land kd's 50-60% against npc's, and probably around 80% against creatures. The KD-Dizzy combo when landed is what concerns me though. Npc's seem to be getting up much more often since patch. Of course KD-Dizzy isnt working at allon creatures, dont know if it is bugged or by design?

Is it really that bad when you face higher level mobs? I have just gotten knockdown, as the first skillbox in TKA so I don't fight any extremly difficult opponents yet. But I only get itRESISTED in about 1 of 20...

I really hope that stays.

Is KD/Dizzy better than KD/Warcry? I always use Warcry and hate to be missing out. It rarely sticks, but when it does I can really take 'em behind the woodshed for 13 secs.

dizzy+kd is ineffective against creature mobs as they get right back up within 3 seconds.. so with them, warcry is the better bet..

npc's on the other hand stays down 90% of the time when dizzy+kd'd..

that is, if you kd really DOES kd =P

KD/Dizzy works fine on the lower level humanoids, but I believe they have given the tougher humanoids some defense against dizzy, or a little combat equilibrium. The knockdown and dizzy really haven't been nerfed in my opinion, the NPCs have just been made to scale better with difficulty. I think it is more realistic.

As for creatures, KD/Dizzy never worked for me. KD/Warcry works great for the creatures, and no change has been noticed.

Solo I have not has any issues with KD working. In groups however I see alot of resists. I attribute this to pets doing posture down attacks and setting the KD timer.

I am seeing the dizzy portion of KD2 not working most of the time however.

I'm using KD1 + Warcry + Dizzy and I usuallyknock them downwithin the first two tries. The FS mobs are the only the that I am having trouble knocking down right now.
