It was always annoying but it got way worse in 2.0, basically every mob that hits me can send me to China, and also the knockback interrupts movement spells, which is not very good for when you need to get out of a sticky situation and a mov breathes on you and now you’re dead because your Escape spell got cancelled.
I understand why KB is in the game, but its just not fun to deal with, especially in certain parts of the game like TCC where the mobs yeet me to Mars and back so that I can’t stand on the platforms.

Its not adding any challenge, its just annoying

im convinced some wynn dev has an obsession with knockback
thats the only reasoning i can find as to why we have this unreasonable knockback
even on our own abilities (meteor)
somber tangle
Its literally only a Wynn thing to have knockback on basically every mob. In literally every other game the knockback mobs are telegraphed and shown to be a threat, in Wynn, the random cow that said “OH YOU’RE APPROACHING ME” can send me from Detlas to Cinfras in a punch
It especially sucks on ranged mobs because you can’t do much about their knockback as a melee class if you keep getting yeeted away from them
velvet spindle
the most funy is when you spam meteors on some mob just for that mob to get flung over your head and dodge the other meteors and in process hit you and thus knock you back into the next state
somber tangle
One time I executed a perfect Aura dodge, but my movement spell got cancelled by some random thief mob that stubbed his toe on me
So I got one-shot and died, leading to everyone losing the war
velvet spindle
that right there is why im so hell bent on waring with mage
somber tangle
Can’t wait for the “God Gamers” to flood in saying “Lmao skill issue” because I can’t casually avoid all attacks

stun locking is just cringe in general tbh, I honestly think agi should be reverted then capped at 70% chance at 150 agi, full agi builds would probably be actually on par with defense again because in all honesty the only difference between def and agi now is with defense you don't the "Dodged" text pop up
somber tangle
Or, here’s a better thought, take knockback off of 90% of mobs in-game, they don’t need it
surreal yew
knockback is fine as long as it's not a stunlock in most cases
somber tangle
Leave it on really strong mobs that looks like they could actually throw you
Not on the random level 35 zombie
cinder vapor
was lring in SI and got kbed off a bridge
mental bluff
knockback i found just causes more problems.
Getting stunlocked just sucks or it causes that other problem where pre 2.0 i would dodge a second hit, but due to kb i'd get punched in to another mob taking some more damage which i couldn't avoid due to the first hit.
charred nexus
is this knockback that players take from mob attacks or the other way around (or both?)
velvet spindle
all knockback honestly
i would prefer it if my meteors didnt fling mobs out of my next meteor's radius
glossy zephyr
some kb is good but it would be weird to not have any
somber tangle
Knockback is in most games, just not to this extent, in most games, mobs with knockback are big and telegraphed to have the ability to throw you across the entirety of Canada, in Wynn a random Cow could have KB
It feels more rare for mobs to not have knockback than to have it
glossy zephyr
It feels more rare for mobs to not have knockback than to have it
which is good honestly
samsam was just talking about how wynntils on the first playthrough ruins immersion, which i personally disagree with but the point is still decent
no kb just feels weird
weak ravine
Yeah kb should honestly be restricted to scripted spells that are very telegraphed. Also please remove the goddamn meteor knock back flinging mobs upward. Arcanist feels a lot harder to chain meteors with when the mob is 10 feet in the air after a single one. It doesn’t make any logical sense either
carmine flame
yup, that's just a horrible mechanic that nerfs arcanist even more, as if it needed nerfs
