Knockback

Knockback is an effect of certain skills and items that knock the enemy backwards a short distance.

Its usefulness is varied, since the knockback forces the player to keep following the 'knocked' monster around, but it can be very handy when surrounded, damaging and pushing monsters away, so they have to come to you. It's primarily a defensive effect.
