R/N... (Weaken Knees)

Weaken Knees, Elite
For 3...31 seconds, if target foe is struck while moving that foe is knocked down and Weaken Knees ends.
Cost 5, Cast 1, Recharge 5

Refering to Weaken Knees as WK.

I ran a test the other day using a general bow build. Don't need too many points in Curses for WK to work great (3 gives it 10s). Hex removal happens, but the recharge is so fast that's not really an issue. WK really stops people kiting/running very well, most from the KD while others saw it on them and stood there taking our team damage. The main draw of using WK is using a bow to cause KD (or wand, etc.).


Anyone have any thoughts?

might work, but spamming it and using up all your energy (not to mention, time, by this i mean no bow shots.) is kind of if-ish. also i don't like the idea of it being elite, but it's up to you entirely.

Used it in TA mostly, not sure how well it would work in GvG. Probably work in AB and the like.

Don't really need to spam it per say, just when you have a target that needs to die/stop kiting/stop running. With the cost being 5, it's decently low. Though energy does run down if used too often. Wonder if a N/R build would also be useful (Or N/* - */N due to any wand/bow/hit damage giving the KD)..

Weaken knees is pretty strong.

I made an WK R/N. I went the beast master route. I figured having an animal as well as a wand would increase my chances for knock down.

If you put call of haste on you're animal, it will almost always be attacking and moving faster than you're opponent. So essentially insuring a knock down if they attempt to run.

If they chose to stand their ground. I could poison them and use disrupting lunge every 5 or so seconds.

It was pretty cool. Run, and you get knocked down. Stand your ground and you get interrupted.
A bad place to be in when you're a caster.
