Knockdown immunity (steadfast) broken?

[amtoru]

Hello.

Steadfast (last core ability) states that you can't be knocked down while standing against the tide. Is this works at all?

I don't see anything about this immunity in combat log or stance description, and was repeatedly knocked down by the dragon in Dont Drink the Water. And of course I have activated SAtT stance.

Yep, same here in the various raids (FoT, Thunder Peaks and Deathwyrm). Although it does seem to reduce the incidence of those on casual reflection.

Dragons seem to have been given an ability to bypass all knockdown immunity effects sad to say.

I'm also curious about this...

I have also been knocked down by various cats and mariliths as well.

Knockdown and overrun are separate abilities. Steadfast grants protection against knockdown effects but nothing against overrun. Not sure if this is WAI but that has been my experience.

It's probably just a copy of the air savant/acrobat "Immune to MOST knockdown effects" where "most" should be replaced by "some."

Landing on one's butt can be caused by many different attacks. Post motu dragons such as the one from DDTW have several, there's the tail trip, jump/overrun attack, and possibly wing buffet. Then you have regular trips from trash mobs, knockdown from air eles, comet fall, cyclonic blast, tactical detonation. I'm also pretty sure the Marilith/Abishai overrun are not the same as post motu dragons, but it's been a while since I played soemthing with "knockdown immunity-ish"

As you can see, easier to adjust the description from "all knockdown effects" to "most knockdown effects" and call it wai.
