Change You Shall Be My Weapon! to knock back before damage

Since usually you just kill the target with this talent, the part where it knocks the target back and stuns enemies in its path goes to waste. Would be nice if it would knock back first so it would still be able to stun enemies behind the target.

Yeah but it is gonna take a lot more than that to make that a half-decent prodigy. I think not many people care since it is a prodigy that is almost never taken.

people might take the prodigy if:
flex chance was reduced to 30%
arcane might was nerfed to the 1.1 version
superpower went back to the 1.4 version
ICCTW gave 30 or even 25 strength instead of 50
if naloren wasn't OP
and if windblade did somewhat less damage, maybe 240%

though maybe after weapon damage is fixed YSBMW would become a viable prodigy anyway

What if you could actually equip the enemy hit with YSBMW! as a weapon, which had effects on equip based on what you used it on?

This sounds like a weird idea, but imagine if you will a telekinetically weilded Orc Wyrmic that you just decided to pick up one day and smash people with. And it can Fire Breath or something.

YSBMW is actually viable. I believe Superpower is still really bad on classes that aren't Mindslayer and Psyshot. I think it's one of the best prodigies on Cursed at least since Arcane Might is awkward, Flexible Combat is only good with certain gloves, and Cursed needs a good stun (Slam sucks).
