  Yes, but how are you supposed to get passed Rank 5 Throwing Attack's training? It's going to be hard to "One Hit K.O. an Awful level enemy", or even find Boss level enemies to kill with a non-KB skill Throwing Attack.

  
  
  Exploit the hee-finish rule ;]

  Was the load time about the same? 2 Seconds?

  edit: whoops, forgot there was another page of posts. This is in response to Blassreiter's posted video.
  He 1 shots a freaking brown fox, so it doesn't tell you much of anything. Also he ranks it from E to D. Although it does appear that your ammo stock of javelins is represented by a number over the skill. He gets kb for a 1hko. Also, I think that if you are at max distance and run away from the mob while reloading, you can get in three hits and the mob will be kb'd on hit three. But I haven't used throwing attack since I capped it a year ago, so that's just guesswork.

  [SIZE="4"]Start watching at 8:07[/SIZE] Throwing Attack cannot knockback no matter how many Javelins are pumped into the enemy.

  I forgot you can run while loading this skill. I'm okay with the loading time now, although 1.5 seconds wouldn't be horrible.
  
  The non-KBs seem like a glitch to me. I mean, it's part of the training requirements. There should be knockbacks.

  you can set party finish to anyone in party and kill it after so it count for knockback also :l

  The point is that the skill should knockback if it's part of its requirements, or so I would think.
  
  Screams out GLITCH to me.

  It is not a glitch. 2 Second load time skills cannot knock back, even if they are spammed. Try spamming 1 shot of Rank F~A Shoot one then load one then repeat. You will never be able to KB anything. Rank 9~1 Icebolt being spammed can KB because it has 1.5 load time.

  Crash shot looks awesome o_o

  Just means you have to abuse finish rules and pets. Maaaybe also -cp armor.

  Well here's to hoping that they fixed this. :)
  
  Because having a requirement and not being able to fulfill it quite retarded.

  That's exactly how I feel. I know that you can use the Party Finish to All trick to get the KB/Kills for Throwing Attack. My Throw was capped when I had 900+ CP. I'm just ranting on how a training requirement needs you to KB a monster yet you cannot do it only with Throwing Attack itself. They should either decrease Throwing Attack's load time while they can to at least 1.5 Seconds or just remove the "Knockdown an enemy" training requirement and make it easier to train.
