Knock Back
Knock Back refers to a style of abilities that does a Crowd Control effect which pushes the opponent back a few tiles from the player, as opposed to Knock Down which knocks the opponent to the ground. Knock Back effects may generate crowd control resistance. Some knock back abilities register on the mob's health bar as knock down.
The following abilities have a chance to cause a knock back, and are being tested/confirmed as to if they generate crowd control resistance. Please edit this page if you can confirm or deny resistance. Knock back is also referred to as push back in this wiki, however, there doesn't seem to be any difference in functionality.

- Pending Question
- The Gust knock back does not put the knock back or knock down icon on the mob's bar, but it does put a gust icon on the mob's bar. Does this make Gust its own type of mechanic and not a knock back.
