I got on my SS/SD and my SS/WP Brute today and noticed all the tool tip notes have been changed from Knockdown to Knockback and sure enough my powers now Knockback. When did they change this and why?!?!?

The attacks should not have been changed to knockback. Make sure that you weren't fighting against greys, that should make even knockdown turn to knockback.

I didn't notice any knockback on my SS/Inv Brute last night. I wouldn't trust the tooltips, they have always been erratic.

Knockdown is just a low magnitude knockback. At a guess, they changed the power tooltip to match the actual effect of the power (there is no such effect as knockdown) without considering that in practice, there is a real difference between knockback with magnitude above 1 and knockback with a magnitude below 1, and one of them is typically called knockdown. It could easily happen if they have somebody low on the totem pole tasked with looking through tooltips (which have been erratic and full of errors since slightly before the dawn of time) and trying to make them more accurate. Just one of the perils of working with legacy code.

Thank you all so much for the reply's. I was attacking grays so that explains it. I went into a tip mish and had no issues. I had been gone from game for almost 2 years and came back to knocking things back so was a bit concerned. Thank you all again for the replies.
