Return of Reckoning

I noticed that people evade/block/parry while being knocked down and disabled on the ground.

Is that a bug?

Seems wrong to me.

Makes about as much sense as tanks being able to avoid incoming damage from guard.

Their core role/function makes perfect sense. Imagine something working as intended.

I could see someone moving and evading/blocking while on the ground even if diminished. I'd give 50% reduction to evade/block/parry/disrupt while on the ground. But I'd give 100% reduction while stunned.

No that's correct, you are supposed to hit them in the back while they're down

There's abit of lag/async though so sometimes you hitting them from behin while server thinks otherwise and they still parry

Can't tell if you are sarcastic but I don't think that it was lag. It was a small fight and that tank for example blocked two times while disabled. Don't know for sure if they also parry and disrupt. That was an assumption but they do dodge and block.

I have been noticing the same thing, notably spells being blocked and disrupted on downed opponents. Also completely sure it wasn't a matter of lag, because it happens consistently.

Not sure whether this is intended or bugged, but as I recall the main perk of knocking someone down used to be that they were no longer able to defend against incoming attacks. Not sure what changed.

If it wasn't clear enough in the first part of my message i say that its not a bug parry/block don't work on attacks made from behind, so to take advantage of the knockdown you have to get behind the target to land guaranteed melee attacks

In all my time of playing this game i dont remember knockdown disabling avoidance.
