That stance is pretty oped, but it's been nerfed already. To combat it just wear medium armour (gives + knockdown resistance) and invest 5 points in the general rouge feat excellent balance. Excellent balance gives 200 knock back resistance for 14 seconds making u near impossible to knock back and as most pvp lasts under 20 seconds is does the job.

The OP was a shaman.. so yeah will proberly not help him

Noone else than me thinks this might be a Bear Shaman ability/spell bug?
By that I mean he may have done something that nullified whatever knockback resistance he got, not intentionally of course, but something...

If the knockdown chance is 30%, the probability of knocking someone down 13 times in a row is 1 in 6272255.

If a crossbow shoots one bolt every 2,98 seconds, it would take you on average 216 days of shooting 24/7 to get that kind of streak.

or it would take 216 rangers blowing up shamies for 24 hours, with the first one getting knocked down 100 % to start the thread

just fought a ranger 5 levels below me, im a 50 ToS, and I got knocked down, I wouldnt say repeatedly, but I definately did not have control over my char and could hardly put HoT's on myself before I died. Was awesome, I must say. Tingling sensation to the stomach, etc.

30% chance to knockback on EVERY SINGLE SHOT is nothing short of overpowered. NO other single class can take almost every other class out of the fight permanently.

The chance should be lowered to 10% or to 20% but then set only to Crossbows not the fast bows too. Either that or increase the knockback/down resistance one "supposedly" gets after 1 knockback to complete immunity, making the skill useful in PvE but of less use in PvP. Remember it's a level 30 ability that can negate almost every level 70 feat out there in compared usefulness.

other factors comes in play, there is resistance and abilites to withstand stuns/knockbacks. In PVP use them :>

Our ranger used this skill in pvE today and he was knocking back EPIC mobs (tough a few levels below , like 3 levels)1 out of 2 shots.

Tough it was very funny to see Ymirs flying around all da time we has like a mezz that did damage. He would take care of the add and by the time we killedthe first this one wud be half damage.

The % Chance in PVE is still quite high imo and should be nerfed cuz it kinda takes the challenge away for our playgroup Altough it has given us funny situations ( Shooting a Ymir from point A to B on the other side of the camp to see him fall off the hill and die mid air due to lightning strike)
