- You still cannot cast any damaging powers

Silly, yes, but likely not a bug. It fits with NGD's new balancing scheme of dividing up powers. The person involved likely just had high STR and wasn't suffering much from the "Weapon damage bonus -90%" penalty of Defensive stance to begin with.

In war, being knocked down is currently enough deadly.
In PvP, it will give a major advantage to the one which knocks the first.

Crowd control effects need a chance to be dispelled upon each attack to help solve this situation:
- Stun: 100% chance to be dispelled by an attack
- Immobilize: 50% chance to be dispelled by an attack
- Dizzy: 40% chance to be dispelled by an attack
- Confuse: 30% chance to be dispelled by an attack
- Knock down: 20% chance to be dispelled by an attack

And then remove the chances from spells such as Sultar's terror and Tremor, since they would no longer be needed. The problem is, this would make Dispel and Protect ally less useful in war where people are being heavily attacked, but in truth, they likely wouldn't survive anyway.

That's the whole problem with crowd control effects to begin with - they are absolute death in war, and only balanced in PvP.

Kind regards.
