Sick and tired of Boss knock back mechanics
Seriously, this mechanic is so incredibly overused by the various boss mobs in this game as to make melee weapons and abilities almost useless. I just ran the blind well and left quite frustrated by even trying to pick up the orbs that give the Harmony buff. Just crap flying all over the damn room due to boss knockbacks and it just got very tiresome and laborious.

1 ReplyWhat? You DONT love when an add pushes you ONE foot into a wall and you instant die from FULL health? Crazy people.

1 ReplyYou know if you melee as soon as they do knock back you lunge forward and remain in your spot?
-
Invisibility phases are fun too, I love waiting for a boss to come back out instead of just giving them more health to compensate for the massive damage we do.
-
Even bosses have a meta.
-
A bit on and a bit off topic, has anyone had a phalanx try to bash you with their shield only to send themselves flying?

4 RepliesYeah, yesterday in Gambit our primeval propelled my guardian directly to portal. I wasn't even planning to invade!:D And ogre's pushback bolts should be somehow mitigated by sentinels' shield. Because it can withstand fallen tank' projectile direct hit and some ogre "le majique" can propel you up to the sky? Yeah, my guardian literally hit the skies.

17 RepliesThey need to bring back bosses that roam. Ones that used to chase you around the room.

While annoying, being kicked off the map out of bounds is super lame.

More than immune effects? I take the knock back baby day over immune .....

1 ReplyI agree that it’s annoying, and I haven’t read all of the other responses, but meleeing the boss when it slams will pull you in and keep you from getting thrown back. Yeah you’ll take some damage, but it’s better than being thrown to another planet. Lol.

7 RepliesEdited by reenry: 2/28/2019 12:51:31 PMSo what? You just want to stand under the boss without them fighting back? This can be easily avoided by using your melee

5 RepliesAbsolutely agree that this mechanic is annoying as hell. But at the same time, I’d rather get knocked back and have the opportunity to survive and come back or deal damage from a distance at that point than just getting outright smoked. Most bosses in other games of this caliber will just instakill you for standing at its feet. At least the bigger ones. I understand this mechanic and would rather have it for the big guys but the smaller sized bosses having it too is ridiculous and just a cheap way to prevent melting. Bosses the size of a cabal colossus should not shoot me all the way to BFI. Insurrection Prime, however, I understand.

What I love is being knocked back from the other side of a wall or pillar 🙄
-
The ogre push is extremely frustrating. Otherwise, you can burn any boss down in seconds so the stomp means nothing.
-
It’s especially frustrating when your running Titan code of the commander and your blocking with your shield, block all damage....but can be sent flying by the knockback move. Counterintuitive.

Edited by bronze189: 2/28/2019 4:38:41 PMI can say its at least better then it was in destiny 1 by quite a bit because in destiny 1 it was basically a 1 hit kill every time. Its probably one of the few and minority improvements over destiny 1 that are overshadowed by how much destiny 1 fixed that destiny 2 reimplemented those mistakes and more.

2 RepliesSeriously. Ogres eating people like a Rancor. I'd run upto them on purpose just to watch it happen.
-
Bump.

Us guardians need a knock back ability of our own. Push down both left and right analogue sticks at the same time to use it, 15-20 second recharge, it does no dmg just sends out a shockwave that pushes back enemies within 1-2 feet or something like that.
-
Sick and tired of Casuals and their inability to play this game properly.
-
6 RepliesImagine that?! Bosses you just can’t shotgun to death. Bungie, please add a teleport ability whereby bosses can instantly teleport you off the map for trying to do dumb shit to a yellow bar. There. Fixed. No more boss stomp mechanics.
-
I'd love to see a boss mechanic where it's super fast (not the bs go invisible or smoke) but legit fast and random. Give it a couple cannons that can really hurt you like the vex boss on that Asher Mir strike but times 2 or 3.
-
2 RepliesIt’d be interesting if the boss picked you up and threw you instead of just ground pounding you away.
