[[Knocklock]]ing is the act of continuously [[quarterknocking]] a player using [[knock down]]s to prevent them from taking [[action]] for a period. Long knockdown chains with short breaks can also be considered knocklocking. This has many applications, including but not limited to:
* holding foes in [[AoE]] [[DoT]] spells.
* preventing enemy defensive characters from reacting to [[spike]]s.
* keeping players [[shutdown]] as a means of [[res control]].
* acting as a [[Snare (tactic)|snare]] of sorts.
* preventing enemy offensive characters from scoring kills.

In [[GvG]] and [[HA]], [[hammer]] [[Warriors]] are generally expected to do this, though some [[sword]] and [[axe]] Warriors, typically using [["Coward!"]], are also adept providing continuous knockdowns. In lower arenas, such as [[RA]], [[Assassins]] are often run for their knocklocking abilities.

Though rarer, knocklocking is occasionally employed in high-end [[PvE]]; for example, several players running [[Ursan Blessing]] were able to keep enemy mobs knocked down for large amounts of time, and were used for this purpose in [[Domain of Anguish]] groups.
