Not so much as an issue but one energy blasters opinion.
I LIKE the knockback in fact I prefer it to knockdown, knockdown is silly for energy blasts they have POWER and send things flying back from the sheer force of them.
It would just hamper us further to have to slot knockback enhancements to get our previous functionality back, knockback is usefull it gets them AWAY from us and keeps melee from happening which lets us blast.

Or it lets you close into melee and deliver a fully-charged Bonesmasher onto a foe while he's struggling to get up. Both strategies work.
I love knockback. I'd hate to have to waste a slot on knockback enhancements to get the same effect I get out of my blasts as they are.
