Knockback FTL

[Nuggus]

I know they claimed they stopped knockback from bouncing off walls but I'm getting bounced around by Treyloth in freethinker's and Bloobeast in HoS etc, anyone found a good way to minimize the knockback or avoid it?<div></div>

Everytime he gives me a KB i bounce of that [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn] [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn]ing wall.  Which sux.  However, he seems to keep you in the air long enuff, that u can maneuver ur char around to land pretty much in the same spot.   I even tried in that corner, and i still got bounced out of it.  However, if I am about 2 meters away from a wall and that KB happens.  Its usually not as severe as a KnockBack, and i dont seem to get as bounced much.  <div></div>

KB = increased bloodpressure

<DIV>Those 2 mobs in the OP don't have a knockback <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><BR><BR>They are `throw-away` attacks. A real knockback only lets you bounce off the wall when you stand against the wall. If you take 1 step off it, it won't bounce you. The throw away can be recognized when you are thrown into a random direction which isn't even aligned to the wall(s) you are close to. Bloodbeast throws you over the shoulder (land straight behind him) and the other one in Freethinkers throws you to a random direction, but it isn't a knockback.</DIV>

I believe the bloodbeasts knockback is actually one that throws you over his head.    So it may look like a broken KB.
