Monk hidden mechanic? Hand Knife

Class and Rank Cleric
#1

Well im not sure how to explain this right, but maybe there are other monks who had similar expirince.
My build: 3 cleric, 1 pala, 2 Monk lvl 196 right now Hand knife 1 (+2 from weapon +1 from Divine might = lvl 4)

We all know that Hand knife has 2 effects

  • a Knock up
  • Chance of armor break
    (and some dmg)

But sometimes this skill even knock up enemys that are immune to knockups AND the skill animation is diffrent. Instead of the small red area there comes a little smoke and the skill goes for a small line. (at least i think so course this smoke goes for a line)

I cant figure out what trigger this effect or if it totally random at a super low chance :frowning:

Strange enough that this triggers on a extrem low rate, i never saw it in a dungoen happening (or i never recognized it, because i barely use this skill in a dungeon for good reason^^)

Maybe i shoud try to catch this on a video…

someone else had this expirince or any idea what happend?

Yes. Let me see.
My database shows a hidden mechanic with Hand Knife + Deprotected zone:


When you cast Hand Knife on a deprotected zone, your range is greatly extended. Another example: https://youtu.be/fsjDBwqvdA0?t=39

The trigger is not random.It’s an old combo that was discover lonnnnnnnnnng ago.To trigger it you need to get the target to have more than 2 stacks of the debuff of Deprotected Zone before you get the synergy combo to work.
