Suggestion Iron Fist... Worst skill ever?

[STDs4YouAnd4Me]

I finally was able to get to level 51 Disciple to learn Iron Fist, and to say I'm disappointed in the outcome is an understatement. The description says the following :
You punch entities within a 5 block radius of you, knocking them up and away and delivering 102 damage.

Perhaps I had my hopes up too high, thinking that a level 51 skill would deal a massive (as least to the extent of forcepush) knockback, while shooting them 5 or so blocks in the air as well. The reality of the situation is that anyone in a 5 block radius from me is pushed upward 1 block, and away from me by 1 block. You didn't read that wrong... 1 block. Moot point anyway, but it only deals 93 damage instead of 102.

The cost isn't cheap either. It requires 20 mana/8 stamina with a 20 second cooldown. For a skill that does less damage and even less of a knockback than Smite (a level 1 skill) do you really think this shouldn't get a look over? At the very least keep the same amount of damage but give it a good enough knockback where I'm able to get a Pray going.

FINALLY!
yes ironfist is a pointless skill, its only use is for a tiny bit of instant damage, this skill needs a major revamp.
The skill doesnt even knock people into the air and also that would be uselss now anyway since you can jump a 15block height and take 6hearts of damage

I suggest revamping ironfist to make it do an aoe forcepush and also apply a 3-5second slow on someone.
Suggestions?

Considering it's a 20 second cooldown, it can probably only be used once in a fight, twice if it's an epic battle. I always thought that slow or root were very OP, but considering it's a level 51 skill it deserves something of the sort.

I mean, it speaks volumes that the skill is so bad that I'm not even going to key bind it.

Forcepull, forcepush and Ironfist are all based off of lag - it will affect what the skills velocity does.

The Ironfist's velocity has been improved slightly - you will notice a difference.

Disciple is fine where it is.

If you saw just how little effect the knockback did, you'd realize why I posted this.

It's been changed back and forth since last time you was a disc.

Can't really say that if every other class has been worked on. With that logic, you can also say "no reason to get a new computer, the one I used 10 years ago worked fine at the time".

as kainzo has stated the skills are based on lag so if you have lag and you want to kill as a disciple not the class for you.
