Why do knockbacks only work 20-30% of the time?

Do most classes have an ability that negates knockbacks? I find when I roll MM and am messing around on ledges with the opposite faction, and I try to use my explosive trap or other knockback, that it only works about 20-30% of the time.

There are some classes that have temporary immunity to knockbacks. I believe they can trigger the traps though. DH and DK come to mind. I’m not sure who else is immune since I haven’t done much PVP on my hunter since WoD.

From what I’ve noticed, I think that ET just has a smaller radius and that you want to makes sure that it cant be avoided or is crippling in some way to them(fall damage or removal of an enemy).

I’ve used explosive trap a lot in BGs and I have noticed it apparently triggering but not knocking anyone back frequently. Wasn’t sure if it was a bug, or the class that triggered it had some sort of knock back immunity which then muted the knock back for anyone else around it.

As far as MMs other knock back, really hate it. Not sure what range is, but feels like you have to be standing on the players toes for the knock back to work.

Explosive trap has a delay from when it’s triggered to when the knockback occurs. The delay is long enough that it can be avoided. Here’s an example: https://clips.twitch.tv/ObservantSassyWormPMSTwin

Really dumb honestly. Not how the old glyph of explosive trap worked.
