Hmm isn't energy torrent a knockback for blasters but a Knockdown for scrappers and tankers?
Ah, good catch, yes it is.
Issue 16 made me feel like this.

Shockwave on a scrapper becomes knockdown against +4s. It stays knockback against +4s for brutes.
Be well, people of CoH.
I know everything eventually becomes knockdown if you go after mean enough targets, so I'm really only interested in effects against even-cons at level 50. I know that's probably anathema to you, Bill. :P

I figured that, but was halfway through the post before I realized it. Said what the hell, throw it out there anyway.

Might be a bit of a stretch for what you're looking for, but Torrent has KB unless used by a Necro MM's Lich.

Do pets count? The Lich and Bruiser come with knockdown versions of Torrent and Handclap respectively.

Energy Torrent for Blasters isn't the same as Energy Torrent for Scrappers, though. They are rather different powers which just happen to resemble each other visually. Scrapper Body Mastery Energy Torrent is actually more akin to Darkness Mastery Torrent than it is to Energy Blast Energy Torrent.|

It's kind of like the difference between Energy Blast -> Power Push and Energy Assault -> Power Push.

Thunderstrike for blasters does KB and Thunderstrike for Brutes (I haven't checked scrappers or tanks) does KD.

This game so needs -knockback enhancements.

For the nature of the question? Probably yes.|

Considering the source, probably no. Clearly, Vanden is working on cleaning up more power icon problems and is working to properly differentiate between the two attack side-effects.

Does anyone know of any powers that do knockback in one pool but knockdown in another? For example, if Bonfire did knockback in the hands of Controllers but knockdown in the hands of Dominators or Blasters in their APP pool, that would be an example of what I'm looking for.
