What to do about knock backs?

Depends on the attack type. If its no damage knockback then time a gap closer, but if its a damaging knockback you can use a shield.

To clarify on that point, a damage shield such as TBN will negate the knockback effect when it is part of an attack that does damage, such as the knockback attack that Zenos does when you fight him in Ala Mhigo, but only if your shield absorbs ALL the damage the attack does. If the attack does enough to break the shield and do any damage at all, even a single HP, then you get affected by the knockback.

I wish Plunge had a higher range. There are knockbacks who push you out of the range of Plunge. Having no knockback prevention and the shortest ranged gap closer is bad design imo.
