But yes, i do think some jobs should get their knockbacks back again, its not like they adversely affected raids or anything like that.
This just makes me even more greatly want Smokescreen to have been an actual smokescreen (forcing ranged mobs into the smoke), blinds to be range-dependent and thereby force ranged enemies nearer, for virtually all attacks to be interceptable, allies hit by an enemy AoE to block those they shadow relative to the AoE's origin, etc., etc. There's a ton more nuance that could go into to the (party-wide, even) tasks of tanking that we either preemptively precluded or gutted from the game.
