Give Physical Ranged Dps knockback nullify ability

[Felis]

Make it a skill that not only prevent knockback, but also lock the character for 3 sec (can't attack while fighting against the knockback)

That seems kind of unfair when Arms length/ Surecast both have no downside, if you applied that detriment to surecast maybe? Especially since Ranged Leg/foot graze role actions are entirely useless.

Plds have tempered will, casters and healers have surecast, and melee have arm’s length, but bards and machinists don’t have any knockback nullify abilities for some instances the have knockbacks. Do you think they should have one in the future?

I don't usually have that problem because I'm not usually close enough to need one.

[Fynlar]

I agree they should get one. When literally everyone else has one, it kinda sticks out like a sore thumb that ranged DPS don't.

As for your statement about completely ignoring a mechanic I feel is rather moot when all but 3 jobs in the game have some means of ignoring a mechanic which just simply inconvenients those playing those jobs.

It doesn't "inconvenience" them, it KILLS them. Range phy dps have to deal with knockbacks. That's not any different from melee having to deal with PBAoEs. Is it unfair to them because half of the jobs in the game don't have to deal with that? No, it's just part of the encounter. Same deal with casters dealing with interrupts or healers having to look at everyone's bars.
