PVP knockback, class specific?

For those who don't know: Many classes have knockback skills, and there are a few genie versions also, none of these work in a pvp fight. The new mystic class however gets a knocback that works pvp.

I feel that this knockback shouldn't work on heavy armor classes. Every single class other than these either have ranged attacks or stealth with the element of surprise. The Blademaster & barbarian have no way to defend against a knockback, they simply can't touch a mystic. Seekers are heavy armor too ofcourse but unlike the other two they at least have some sort of long ranged damage.

I think the mystic knockback should either be resisted or be reduced (as in not thrown back as far) for heavy armor targets, the mystics abiltiy to stun with pets, seal/immobilise for long times & to make themselves immune to movement debuffs is plenty to be a strong opponent to these classes, the knockback making it hard to even get near the mystic on top of all this is plain overpowered. By making this unavailable on these targets the PVP balance would be somewhat restored (again, only on blademaster & barbarian).

    That would make playing a melee class pointless, earthquake for example is a spammable genie skill with knockback, bm's could just pack up & leave. with this nerf it could be done though, archer/wizzy knockbacks wouldnt be too bad in a ranged vs ranged class fight & the earthquake one is low range only.

    Read my post again please & take a look at the sticky's for post guidelines also, like i said, this isn't for seekers or assasins because yes they have plenty of ways to fight it.
    And i do have a bm tyvm, and yes they have some ranged abilities, but at lvl 100 in endgame pvp those few attacks aren't going to hurt an opponent much unless you have a +10 sac assault nirvana weapon maybe.

    A decent APS BM can kill an arcane in half a second.

    It'd only be fair to give the squishys a way to get away from that big bad apser, which is a knockback (you can't use the skill when stunned. SOOOO, keep your target stunned. I know it's hard, people seem to forget all skills exept spark when the hit 5aps)
    9 out of 10 voices in my head say I'm not crazy... the 10th is singing the music of tetris

    true but arcanes usuaally dont have antistun, mystics do, with that + their dmg output & pets that stun independent from them they got plenty to fight with.

    Ok ok so heres the deal, mystics have a heal, a pet, AND a pushback that works in pvp. Wiz has a heal also but its slow as ****, we dont have a pet which makes us more vulnerable, not only that we have a pushback but it doesnt work in pvp, but why does mystic, a class that says its mag attk is to rival psychics have a fken pushback and wiz dont. Some things pwi does dont make sense to me.

    i will try to explain that skill
    mystics pushback ppl like you and almost instant it unzip our pants too so when you run and come close you can bj us easier.
    for the rest of the ppl mystic can push ,psy can afk kill and wiz can 1 shot,
    different classes different skills
    thats the deal you necrofcker 03-14-2011
