I have knockdown as a 3rd at-will, and combine it regularly with "I'm Not Done Yet" to give it 1W if I need. It gives me some fun controllerish options: charge, do a knockdown assault, knock it prone and push one away, then action point and hit with lunging strike. He's down, marked, probably bloodied, and cant do anything but stand.

Eventually, I'll get a relentless weapon, and probly train out of knockdown, but its a nice combo for now.

the long term goal is being a solid defender. My background is as a retired Cormyrian soldier who took up adventuring after mustering out. he's older than most adventurers (40), and a master of an unusual weapon.

Most flail attacks area little less damaging, but do things like immobilize, knock prone, or slow, so I have some soft controls.

My plan is to be solidly defenderish, but leaning a little controllerish with the soft status effects, and a little strikerish with the higher damage.

Its probably a little early yet to be thinking on it, but I'm looking at possible paragon paths as well. Kensei, Adroit Explorer, Dreadnought, and Pit Fighter all look useful.
