Celebrate Knockback

After playing on a team full of Knockback and finding it was glorious chaos and destruction - I would like to try and make it a regular thing.

I will try nightly at 9 pm EST to form a Knockback team in Talos.

Invited are all those people with knockback, stuns, disorients or other annoying powers that people complain about. We embrace Knockback and in fact encourage it!

Our favorite foe? Council! They have lots of knockback - so much so it is impressive. We also embrace Tsoo and CoT.

You got Hand clap 6 slotted? BRING IT ON!
Energy blaster? Pew Pew Pew all night long!
Ever see a boss defeated in midair? It happens everytime!
If you don't enjoy chaos and the over-powered fun of villains raining from the sky - you need not apply.

Fun is about to begin - if your gaming is Zerious Biznez - Don't join a Knockback Team.

Legal disclaimer - Due to complaints by the various villain factions to Atlas City Hall - those attending Knockback meetings may find themselves subject to class action Whiplash suits.

I don't play on this server. I just came by to tell the OP: You rock. There is NOTHING in this game that brings a smile to my face faster than a team full of KB throwing psychos.

Me and my Claws-Shockwave salute you! Makes me want to crank that energy/storm corruptor back up.


Be well, people of CoH.

An ill/storm troller would be nice for some KB fun ...

my long shelved lvl50 energy/energy blaster applauds you for this. if it wasn't evil hami night tonight at that time i'd love to get in on it.

knockback is one of those things that really, really go along way solo, but never translate well to typical zombie teaming of 'use as little energy as possible to move from mob to mob'.

with this in mind i plan on a kinetic meleeist who absolutely maximizes knockback over all else once it hits. ;p


Kittens give Morbo gas.

I plan on doing this almost EVERY day

I play most nights in the evening and so rolling TF's and missions with the Knockback crew will be fun


 

Posted

Well seeing as you plan on doing this every night ... What level? I can have an ill/storm rolled up tonight? Do I have to play every night or just some nights? *rubs hands together in anticipation*

Well the first Knockback Knight was fun - we got 6 knockback folks + a tank with hand clap and a Kin/arch def.

The tank would not run around and try and hold aggro. He taunted to start, hit hand clap and we all cut loose. Then he would attack the largest group and taunt the others. UI went on straggler control killing off any bum rushers with my Energy/Energy blaster.

The Peacebringers were in heaven being actually ENCOURAGED to spam knockdown/Back!

We had one team wipe because as often happens when steamrolling you get a little loose on aggro splash. So when 4 groups of Tsoo were pounding us we realized it might be bad.

As for level range ANY level is fine. If you can push, pull or drag yourself to Talos at about 9 pm EST - I should be on most nights and will get it going! We normally form up run one mission to see how we gel and then start laying waste to the enemy!

Seeing 2 energy blasters and 2 peacebringers letting loose on mobs stunned by handclap all at one time was great fun. We had no real healing with just an AoE kin heal. But rarely were we taking any damage at all. Council turn into a wolf? I would slap him into a corner and rain knockback on him until he was dead.

It was chaos and not for those wanting an organized easy team - but is was FUN chaos.

I don't play every night but I do most nights.

In game I am currently using Dansant (shimmer in French) Energy/Energy. Nothing is required I am just going to try and have it going most nights for the sheer fun of it.

Tonight I may not be able to make it at 9 - I have fighting practice.

Now that's an awesome line

My first MoKahn was my tank plus four illusion controllers, an energy/energy blaster, a storm defender, and some poor scrapper along for the ride.

I have never seen so much chaos. Nor have I ever felt so safe on a master's run.

This sounds like an amazingly fun endeavor, and I will try to bring my PB to these gatherings.

Before I forget - we accept ALL AT's and power in the Knockfest.

We do however encourage the use of it liberally and not necessarily in good taste or sense.

I know this can wear on some people after a while, chaos is an acquired taste and personally I find it refreshingly fun in the age of grinding teams with perfect builds that crush through +4 groups.

With these teams you never know when you just aggro'd that second or 3rd group with a random knockback

The most fun is hitting a Boss intent on giving you a sound thrashing and see him literally cartwheeling into the air and dead before they hit the ground. It doesn't get better than that.

The time wrong for me, but I approve nonetheless.

Did you know...

If you slot Martial Art's Cobra Strike with the Stupefy KB proc, and use it while surrounded by a pack of bad guys, it can often look like you've thrown one of them over your shoulder.


Thunder Kick also rocks with theis proc.

Eagle's Claw with the Haymaker animation should look even better...

Super Jayne, SS/Inv Tank approves! I will make every effort to join in the fun.

Need a villain side equivalent.

Okay, so I have a brand new ill/storm troller named Tempest Nocturne ready to join in on the KB goodness. I'll lvl her up as much as I can before I can join you. Tonight is my mutant static team, so I really can't do anything until tomorrow night. I'll be in touch!

I was also out of commision last night but will be on tonight.

All levels and ATs welcome only requirement is an acceptance to Knockback and other "undesirable" status effects. Trust me with a bunch of knockback - handclap rocks.


 

Posted

We did it again!

A lot of fun zipping around PI and I saw gale, wormhole, hurricane, and much Knockback was had by all!


 

Posted

Yeah I'm totally down for this, just rolled a PB and will try and get on most nights. Sounds like a blast!!


 

Posted

My ill/storm is lvl 19 and ready to rock


 

Posted

My first 50 was a kin/energy defender. I'm definitely interested in bring him along. KB is my favorite secondary effect in the game.


Currently on Virtue:

RWZ All-Pylon Solo Run

I had loads of fun, looking forward to doing more of these.

I'm running a PB right now and could not care less what anyone thinks of my KB, it's what we do. I will try to wait until I see the AoE's go off before I do but, you know...


So if you see Blonde Amazon looking for a team invite away, she'll scatter your enemys all over the mish!


36 level 50's in various servers...haven't been here in a while. It's now over 50

I will not be on tonight as I have fighter practice and won't be home until nearly 10pm EST
