i think it just adds more variety to a fight? don't want to deal with a mechanic? anti-knockback.

some part of the fight went melee positional unfriendly? true north.

I know some people that complain sometimes that a fight should just cater to their class because they just want the big deeps. but that kind of thinking if a fight is designed that way would be less interesting imo.

if you want to fight a dummy go fight a dummy any where in the open world or Stone Sea Sky.
