Headbutt knockout
Headbutt knockout
As I'm lying here holding up my group...don't you think the knockout effect is too long. I mean if the mob is tough, you'll die right away if it's 1 min or 5 min. If it's low, you could lie there for an hour and it still won't kill ya. C'mon, gimme some headbutt love!

There should be a smelling salts item in the game . It would act like a wand and be like a !agressive area spell that negates k.o. effects...that would rule.

Headbutt KO needs to be redone completely. As it stands now, as many of us have posted - it is effectively near useless. Why?
If we solo, its death - if we group - its a hideous delay.
What can we do?
Instead of the current KO for either victim, headbutt should do massive damage and then 'super stun' the victim so that while they are able to fight/melee etc, they are NOT able to flee, bash, cast, circle, trip, etc etc.
The duration of this affect should be shortened somewhat, but still be rare - this way, headbutt is a viable damage method and occasionally a benefit to combat without becoming overly powerful.

imho..
I'd like to see headbutt have the chance of failure increased a litle, however on failure give an 80% chance of 10 round stun, and 20% for warrior to KO. Thus the chance to KO self would be reduced significantly, however an interesting effect would be added.
Keep in mind that headbutt is not used very often in zones for the same reasons shieldpunch or kick are not, the value of them does not over-ride rescuing in any way. Headbutt is fun, fun is good.

Mobs *always* keep hitting me when I KO myself, and it usually results in death. It's like para, where the mob keeps recognizing and attacking you.

Headbutt is a great skill, the damage was upped once already and just plain rocks. There's no other skill out there that does what it does.
I would agree that the KO duration is a little long. It should last a minute or two at most. Right now it seems to be about 10 minutes. Does a professional boxer go down for 10 hours if he gets konked?

Gormal - while my headbutt is not at 99 yet, it IS close to being mastered. I have invested days upon days practicing it.
1 - Most mobs WILL continue bludgeoning your ass to death after you KO yourself. I have been killed by by < lvl 15 mobs many times.
2 - I have yet to get better than a 1:1 average for KO's me to them. Is dwarf headbutt different than barbarian headbutt maybe? Perhaps size is a factor . . .

Gimme headbutt love! Seriously, isn't 5 min or so a bit much. My point is still valid...a half ass decent mob will kill ya, but a real crappy mob will still miss ya if just practicing. Like I said, it is just a waste of a zoning group's time. I have never died in a zone group while heatbutting but soloing this guys would kill me in 30 seconds. Make the knockout time shorter. Any half-way intelligent tank wouldn't headbutt a 40+ mob solo because they know they would die...

Ok i got my headbutt to 95 now, and im getting maybe a 2 to 1 ko ratio instead of a 1 to 1 ko ratio like i was gettin before.
The problem is, i KO the yuan ti raider but KO self on the death knight in CC, never the other way around. Well thats not true, because i KOed self on a yuan-ti raider one time and it FRIGGIN KILLED ME. Thats just rediculous. KO time needs to either be reduced or the chance to KO removed entirely if this is gonna be a skill worth using. If not just put it next to hitall on the "skills to use when you don't care what happens" list.

If I was leading in a zone, and you Ko'd yourself doing something as stupid as headbut, your ass would be getting left behind really, really fast if we had another tank

I dont see much of a problem with headbutt. I have mastered the skill for quite awhile now and still fail. I am really fine with the fails. I only use it in a group when I am not the primary tank and when I know that I can be left behind without jeopardizing the health of the group. The KO time I feel is justified since when last i checked my headbutt was doing around 250-300 dam. An extra 250-300 dam once every 2 rounds is a nice up.

Heavier helmet = less time to be KO'd.

I second this twice.
Or something.
Good idea
