is knockback that much required on a javazon (against Cows and ChaosSanctuary)?
i have a crafted KB gloves but i think it doesnot work on Cows with LightningFury. they either die or in hit recovery, alive ones are not knocked back. ChargedStrike procs it normally, i can put them in knockback-lock (whatever it is called).
do i miss something? do some skills doesnot proc knockback? is there a list providing this info?
thanks
EDIT: a question, why isnot there any poison java build? arenot they hell viable? i was thinking of switching my lite javazon to some kindof poison-lite hybrid javazon. please lmk if it is cows & chaossanctuary viable.

Reason: added poison javazon question
It seems KB is applied alike by any kind of physical attack, so I'm not sure why you're seeing a difference between LF/CS. You don't need KB though.
Poison is definitely viable, especially with a high-end setup, but limited by its cast delay of 4 seconds and the damage-over-time it delivers. Unlike Freezing Arrow, you can't handle Gloams with it (since they're both light and poison immune) and it doesn't benefit from Infinity.
Personally I find KB a nuisance for a Javazon, when you start CS-ing you want the monster to stay close and get hit, rather than have to run after it.
Imo save the KB for bowazons.
about poison java, yesterday night in cows level, some champions/uniques spawned with PI/LI unbreakable. thats why i thought of using a poison hybrid lite java. as i already have many +java skills it could be useful against them if i power up my poison skills.
i think for what you want you should craft some blood gloves. another way to deal with LI/PI is to use demon limb to enchant or to have demon's arch/tiamat's rebuke on switch. they work pretty well alone or in combination.
I think he means Duriel uses knockback attacks, which he does . IIRC, he uses smite, charge and holy freeze. Not sure if the numbers are the same as for a paladin though.
I know I'm a little late in posting, but I just crafted some 2 java skills, 20ias, knockback gloves. Are those even useful if knockback is just a nuisance?
Well you could get a rare with +2 and 20 ias but those are hard to get too.
Keep them if you can live with the knockback.
To OP. Poison/lite javazon is indeed viable and actually fairly decent in chaos sanctuary and cows. Chaos has no poison immunes and very weak LIs that fold over instantly to poison. Cows are not immune to anything, and while a pure lite jav will obviously be much better here, the LF/PJ zon is one you can take out for a spin anywhere in the game. The only thing they really can't handle are the LI/PoIs.
The key is to go bonkers on +skills. I'm upto level 37 jav skills at the moment, and in SP too ( so no torch or whatever ).
