ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Hi,

Question in the topic.
I understand, that it allows you to hit mobs on and near the path to your destination. But what with the knockback? will it always knock the mobs back? Its often the case, that I charge into a group of mobs and the charge doesnt do any damage and I just stop in front of the first mob.
What is the best method of using this skill?

Cheers.

Just combine it with Cleave to gain plenty of hits with good mobility. Not sure, when I have read it, but knockback certainly does not work the way you think, just ignore that part.

The knocking out of the way is finnicky at best, from my experience.

Just treat it like a Rush that targets squares instead of people. If there's a person in the way directly, you'll probably end up stopping. Attack along side of enemies and it works really well.

Yeah, I noticed the same behavior. Its a pity though. if the knockback would be guarantied, so that you end up on the spot, you chose, only stopped by big/huge monsters, this skill would be just great

Probably already stated, but reckless charge is also a good escape method.

Yeah, I find Blindside is a better closer. The best way to use Reckless Charge is to smack an enemy as you run past him to safety.

That or tactical repositioning while in the fight. Blindside in, and if there are enough enemies around, they'll happily cluster around for you to run past. Also agree on the cleave bit.
