Dear SE. Monster knockback attacks needs a lookin into.

[Kanash]

I'll keep it short.

During a leve, 3 nannygoats spawned. We all know about this knockback attack they do, that knocks you redicules far back.

Well, imagine all 3 goats, doing that move with less than a second apart.
That distance are then multiplied 3 times.... I'm sadly not kidding.

They hit me with less than a second apart, and I just kept getting knocked back, further and futher away, while they were still standing at that same spot.

Just about every damn mob got some kind of retarded knockback attack. But imo, nannygoats take the price of being the most annoying.

[Nayt]

While this is indeed annoying, I think the problem lies with the rate these mobs use abilities. That is something which needs amending

[Xoo]

Gnats and their Shock Spikes get my vote.

[Rentahamster]

It is annoying yes, but an interesting and unique game mechanic that involves positioning. You can incap the goats to make them knock you back less, but that's more trouble than it's worth.

I would like to see the following:

Make horn incapacitation easier to do.

Allow me other ways to stop getting knockback besides standing in front of a wall. Like some kind of super steadfast ability or whatever.

Give me a move that has knockback properties too, so I can do that annoying move to them, too.

whenever i fought gnats, i equiped Scourge Strike and land it on those with Shock spikes.

On a side note it would be nice to get a decent animation for your character reacting to being knocked back. It just looks weird right now. I mean you like snap into a animation that seems to stay constant, and you skate back. Seems pretty poor to me idk about you guys. Now if it knocked ya to the ground thatd be cool or something.

[Mudd]

I've never seen that happen, I would have laughed it off because it must be pretty rare.

1. Find corner.
2. Stand with back to corner.
3. ????
4. Profit.

The Gnat Shock Spikes issue is far more annoying, this can at least be dealt with, with proper positioning.

I agree, its like we are fighting on ice the way it is now. Something like the blow back animations in XI.

This only works solo; have you tried being in a party with this strategy? Doesn't work well - tank flies ALL OVER the place. The Mosshorn fight is like being trapped in a goddamn pinball machine.
