Knockback distance

How far do these passive skills add?
What will it do with something like sweep?
Is there a video online to show what it does?

Also, is it planned to add a support gem for that?

If you refer to these passives, they'll (stacking additively) add a total of 40% knockback distance. That's a little less than 2 units: 0,6(15%)+0,6(15%)+0,4(10%)=1,6(40%) units.

(assuming the game recognises distances shorter than 1 unit)

Sweep increases the knockback distance by 1 unit (25%)*. Per 1% of quality Sweep gets another 2% increased knockback distance.

There's a supportgem that increases the chance to knockback on hit.

So basically the knockback ability I bought as an archer (passive node) is worthless as there are no available nodes to increase that distance for a ranger.

'worthless' seems a bit harsh :)
Is knockback's sole worth relative to an increased kb distance?
Monsters still get knocked back if you critically hit them. At least it hinders them advancing on you.

There are knockback passives that affect all weapons in the tree, albiet in the str area(3 passives for 40% increase)


But even with quite a few passives and gear related to knockback, the movement of enemies is underwhelming. I've respec'd into stun until they add more passives or tweak the distance. It just doesnt seem worth the passives as it stands now.

It would be cool if they make the stun like real stun ,and knockback as real knockback with you actualy can see and use well.

Though its immposible ,since GGG adds no cooldowns or other type of limitation to skills ,they cant add REAL CC to them ,since it will turn them automaticly to overpowered status.

Thus dont expect cool effect or good crowd control spells in this game if GGG will keep it as it is.

@Azhubham: thanks for the reply.
About the support gem, I was talking about a way to increase the distance, not a chance to knockback.
But yeah, 2 more units seem useless.
Glad I asked before putting some points in it then :)

@RodHull: yay regret orbs ^^;;

Yeah worthless was harsh but ill be honest the amount of knockback is pathetic even if I crit them with say 3 shots in 4 seconds their natural movement will be enough to have still advanced on me, albeit slower than they would have.

Please excuse the necro.

I'm wondering if knockback distance is still 4 units. The quote from mark_GGG posted above says that the distance is 4 and is the same as the minimum melee range.

But recently he has also said that:

Actually, you get full bonus at twice the melee range of one-handed weapons (one-handed melee range is 5, two-handed is 6. Point blank has full bonus up to range 10).

Perhaps the "minimum melee range" refers to unarmed? Or is exclusive to some monster attacks?
