Remove Knockback from Bul-Kathos’ Children

Before you close up shop, please remove knockback from Bul-Kathos’ Children for Patch 2.6. You can’t use Frenzy with this two-sword set because of this effect, making for a slow kill speed. This set has potential, but you must solve this problem. This has been requested numerous times by the community.

Thank you for consideration!

Agreed, as mentioned by a lot people (still would not be enough to be super good, but at least usable)! Please start to make exisiting stuff more interesting than working on new mediocre RWs :crossed_fingers:

This change would be such an easy win, please fix Bul-Kathos’ Children!

no, only sword in the game with it and its a great effect

would rather they modify other stats on it(improve) and also allow ethereal to be a thing on set item…but knockback should stay

Respectfully disagree. Knockback on BK is annoying and only a deteriment for the set. Also, knockback is on Griswold’s Edge, but who’s counting :smiley:

That’s something I can 100% get behind. The set is very usable, you could even do Ubers with it, the knockback makes it useless.

Socket Nef rune in any sword => knockback.

Agreed, never use this set because of that annoying knockback

you never use it because Grief, Grandfather, Doombringer, Oath, Doom, Beast, BotD, Kingslayer, Death, Death Cleaver, Stormlash exist

classic has at least 3 weapon superior to it :wink:
although bul-kathos is the only sword with crushing blow on classic…which basicly mean you’d use it anyway to have at least 1 weapon that proc cb while the other deal raw dmg for finishing blows when cb effect become uneffective(diminishing return when enemy at low health)…in the case of Stormlash idk which version classic use…the 1.10 version or pre 1.10 stormlash ?..in such case its better than BK sword if the 1.10 version

also Arreatsummit is now back…(unfortunetly it dont showcase how items were pre 1.09 on there)…so there may or may not be some other items with crushing blow

so the reason your not using it is not because of KB…its because there are much stronger weapons available for use…as for classic its 1 of the bis in slot if stormlash old version is bad and is whats being use on classic

EDIT: even if kb was removed you’d still have mass amount of weapons as better choice for RAW DMG…so whats your real reason to want it removed ?

Agree won’t be super good but useable. Now it’s useless. And if they remove KB and you slam two runes of choice in it, it could be fun.

More if we see the A5 Frenzy-Merc being able to wear 2H and they might add some eth components on sets or add the effect to a Zod (as people suggest).

Definitely look sick and has massive style points :wink:

I did ubertristram with double swing, frenzy and howl with bk set. Knockback doesn’t work on bosses. However, getting to miniubers was a real pain.

This is great example of quick little things to improve the game. I hope the patch notes have a lot of little fixes like this.

Perfectly said. I’m hoping as well.

Seems like most people would agree on removing knock back from BK set. This would actually make it a viable option for a budget frenzy barb.

Agreed. This set is handicapped by knockback. Simply removing it makes it viable.
