-[[Knockback]] is a [[Boss Modifier]] available to Champions and Bosses, as well as their minions. During testing it was just a short stumble back hit, but upon release Knockback became a very powerful hit that would hurl a character or pet back nearly to the edge of the screen, a good 30 or 40 [[yards]] in the game's scale of distance.

-This property is amusing early on, when a Witch Doctor can watch his [[Mongrels]] get repeatedly launched across the entire screen by some tiny boss with this property. It can also be somewhat helpful to ranged attackers, as the boss will knock them so far back that it's almost as if they used some sort of movement skill themselves. It's more dangerous in dungeons and tight areas where the knockback doesn't actually create a safe space between the character and monsters.
+This property is amusing early in the game, when small Elites with limited damage can send characters or pets flying across the entire screen with a successful hit. The property can actually be helpful to ranged attackers, as the impact may knock them back out of range, giving them space to shoot safely. It's more dangerous in dungeons and tight areas where the knockback doesn't actually create a safe space between the character and monsters, and players are slowed and vulnerable to damaging Elite Affixes for a second.

-[[Knockback]] is an effect of certain [[skill]]s and [[item]]s that knock the enemy backwards a short distance.
+[[Knockback]] is an effect in Diablo III that causes the target of a successful hit to be shoved backwards for some distance. There are numerous skills, items, monster abilities, and more that cause knockback, and the distance of the knockback varies greatly between different sources and targets.
-Its usefulness is varied, since the knockback forces the player to keep following the 'knocked' [[monster]] around, but it can be very handy when surrounded, damaging and pushing monsters away, so they have to come to you. It's primarily a defensive effect.
+Knockback often includes a short stun effect, so targets are briefly debuffed after being knocked back.
-Knockback is sometimes combined with a [[stun]] effect.
+Knockback is often found as a modifier on items, though in very small amounts. A +1-2% chance of knockback is the usual amount.
