Wow this is great finally someone who understands. Its totally unfair that KB and the end drain on elec are RNG based. None of the other secondary effects of powers are rng. Fire burn dot reliably, rad reduces defense reliably, darkness does its -tohitdebuff reliably, sonic does negative to resist reliably, cold slows reliably, psychic slows recharge reliably, Beam rifle secondary was recently made MORE reliable so it is possible to increase the chances of KB and End drain effects to being more reliable. I have no idea how this could be accomplished perhaps a new accolade or incarnate? heres an Example:
1 get knocked does 1000 times = badge
> Accolade "Smackdown" = All smashing attacks now have an additional 30% chance to do 0.67 Knockback to target.
1 knock down foes 1000 times = badge
This will boost up those attacks that already have a KB modifier and most of those attacks are smashing attacks. Non smashing attacks are not affected and smashing attacks without a knockback modifier will rarely knockback AND when they do it will be knockdown not knockback.
the same formula can be used for electric and electric drain powers.
