I have noticed recently that my Knockback skills dont seem to work when I am in a dungeon. But a Psychic's does. Would anyone happen to know why??

    Does it look like it works but the mob just runs back really fast? If so, thats not your fault, its just the mob can run back fast and can cover the distance you knocked it back fast.

    They dont move at all. I use knockback arrow and wingspan and they dont even flinch.

    Oh, ok i think i know what happened. You said there was a psy in the squad, so what might of happened was the psy used Glacial Shards - a move that makes the mobs unable to move (you might of saw a purple circle under the mob) and when you used your knockback skills, they cant move because they are frozen.

    I am currently doing a BH 39, no psy, and i am the only archer. And the knockback just seems to not work when i am the only one attacking a mob in there :P

    I dunno if its just an issue with Archers, because i know a barb's knockback also worked....

    The hit connects. I'm not new the game. I just havent played an archer in a while.

    In all dungeons are mobs that cant be knocked back (but seal works). This applies not to all dungeon mobs but about 50% of them are immun to knockback-skills.

    The Psychic cant knock it back too. But if Soul of Silence (or any other seal-skill) triggers the mob will run away.

    As Eclipse said this is same situation , im an archer myself , knockback has 50-50 chances to be applied . at times this can happen to aim low as well or even stun , though usually stuns work perfectly especialy BM ones

    there is a new glitch in PW - YAY b:angry - that makes mobs with the silence status move back , this sometimes happens with freeze in BH 39 as well

    this also applies to venomancer pets l ,

    No psys are not OP , no they cant do special things u cant ( not that ur post implied sth like that )

    It's just another story from the crypt with PW bugs , let's all hope they will be solved in the future

    It's not a glitch; it's been there at least since I got my silence move. It's simply that silences have a "fear" effect that makes them run.
    Why? you ask.
    Why not?
    If you could not attack, yet still move, would you not run from the person hitting you?

    When play with class that have silents try use it on mob, they will run away as long as the silence is there. b:laugh
    When first using it (not inside instance) i am surprised that instead of stop using skills the mob run away. b:laugh Looks like silence on PW is not just make them unable to cast skill but also unable to attack. b:surrender

    As far as knockback goes, some mobs can be knocked back, some cant. Also as far as stun/aim low goes, there is always a 5% chance that it might fail which could explain this at times. On the same note, I have seen a BM's stun fail too :P.

    AFAIK sealing a target usually forces the mob to move back a bit. Has always been the case since i started playing.

    simple answer version:

    some mobs are too heavy to knockback. I've had this problem before, and almost always, the mob I cant knockback is something very big.
