Question about Constitution affecting knock

Ok, this is a question that has been plaguing my mind for a few days now, and trust me Kinsa and some of the other's I play with are sick of hearing me complain about it. So, I figured I would try and get down to the bottom of this issue. Ok, so I am T H C as many of you know on the Horus server, and I am fairly new still to the knight class. I have figured a lot of things out, but what I am having a hard time figuring out is WHY I AM KNOCKED SO MUCH?

I don't normally give my stat's out to other realms, because I like to keep them to myself. I will say that I have 105 constitution, and I seem to be getting knocked all of the freakin time! I thought the formula was 1/4 of your total constitution or something. So if that were the case I guess naturally I would have 26% chance of not being knocked. I also have the passive block chance on level 5, and I have been told by a few players that leveling that doesn't make a difference. I also use precise block..

What seems to happen to me is this:
I will evade/block/resist a lot of trip's, feint's, ambushes. I am not complaining on the amount of things I block, and the amount of damage I resist. What is really eating at me is why does it seem that every ambush that is cast "successfully" seem to always knock me? I swear, and I look at my log's a lot, does it seem that I am being knocked so much? It honestly feels like I am being knocked more than my marksman, or hunter. So, basically if I don't block/evade/resist ambush; I am knocked down. I rarely see the message where it says ambush has been cast on you successfully, and I avoid the knock.

Sorry for all of the word's to say very little, but I was wondering if any other knight's are experiencing an unreal amount of knocks to them?
