Small Peacebringer change.

[Cooltastic]

I would like to request that Peacebringer ability SOLAR FLARE get it's knockback changed to knockdown. PB's have far to many attacks with knockback, ALL of their AoE's have it(Luminous Detonation, Solar Flare, Dawn Strike, Photon Seekers.) The only multi-target ability they have without knockback is Photon Scatter that's a cone.

 

PB's best single target attacks our their melee attacks. So it would be nice to be able to use an AoE and then follow up with some melee attacks without having to give chase to enemies you just sent flying away. Solar Flare is a PBAoE(so you have to be in melee range to use it, so would make sense to change into knockdown) that does mid level damage. It could be a like a way weaker version of Foot Stomp(in fact it used to share that animation, I prefer the new hand clap animation but would love to see the foot stomp and ground punch become optional animations for it.) Dawn Strike is your much more devastating PBAoE, which makes sense that it would have more kick to it as far as knocking back goes.

 

Overall I just feel like changing Solar Flare to do knockdown instead would just make it feel more fun to play, being able to play a Melee PB a bit easier. Not to mention it would make your teammates much happier if you weren't sending everything flying every 20secs(or less) just because you want to do SOME AoE damage.

 

And yes, I know there are IO's that can change Knockback to knockdown. But I still feel this power shouldn't be knockback to begin with.
