Lo, I realise this is just a scenario for lvls 18-31 but still:p

I'm playing a swordmaster and it's pretty fun. I got a nice pbaoe 'boost all destro in the lava' style that works every couple sec. (if u stand still).

however, I realise this a bit strong here;)..

And sometimes i feel like playing tennis with a other booster char.
(had a complete tennis match the other day, even hawkeye seemed to work :p)

anyway, how is this on higher levels, the boost still has this impact?

[edit: reason not in order career part is: i want feedback from other classes aswell, sm is not the only boost class]

glad you enjoy the one stupid ability that turns TA in a ping pong game rather than a fight. Personally think it's quite pathetic when people run up to you and use it in one on one rather than fight.

OP ability that is hopefully getting nerfed in next few days.

It is not strong at all, in fact it isn't even working as it says it should.
It should have a 10 feet radius, while in fact it has about a 2 foot radius ( less than half the melee range). So it's really hit and miss if you'll knock anybody back while you're standing on them on your screen.
Only the tactic to turn this into a 30 foot range makes it useable ( and I doubt it even gets that range), but then it still remains a 2nd in chain style, not an insta useable knockback.

The only reason it's OP is of the lava tbh and not many other scenarios have that.

that was my question, withouth lava, is it still that strong?

Not really no, you fly back a few yards then you're back fighting again. You can cast instas while flying too so you're not really gone that long. It's basically a spell interupter or a tank mover :>

Without lava it's no longer insta death, but can be used effectively in some situations, it will interupt concentration based spells, or can be used to knock people into your own lines (or out of range of their healers) if you position yourself correctly.

Sadly most ability's utility is based on experiences from scenarios currently - and given the limitations in which ones pop I think we are getting a very biased view of some abilities and spec lines.

It is useful for bumping tanks off walls or throwing healers out of range of their group members or into the range of your aoe hoes but generally no, it's not as much of a game-breaker as it is in tor anroc.

Just hit 27 on my RP and recently acquired pbaoe knockback which was fun for a few days, but now i just don't use it as half the time it doesn't fire (the recast grey-out is bugged) and often it will simply not work. This being said it is ESSENTIAL for surviving WE attacks. Knock em back and run, they wont catch me straight away and i can easily survive their ranged attacks until one of my DPS spots them and blasts them into oblivion :)

I'm a WH and I find it annoying. You already have a hard enough time trying NOT to get sandwiched between enemies on those narrow pieces of land when someone is running away.
