Make no mistake, knockdowns are important. So is decise. The thing to
remember in Primus, is that excelling in just one area (attack, decise,
damage taking, etc.) just isn't going to cut the mustard anymore. The best
warriors are well-rounded. Decise is important because against some of the
attack monsters, you definately want the first swing. Attack is important
to improve the chances of that swing connecting. And of course knockdowns
are very important.
Strikers CAN be sucessful in Primus. Heck, fighters of every style, even
bashers (yuck!) have and will be sucessful in Primus. The current
Duelmaster of Primus, Opus, is a striker. He and The Amateur, another
striker, have faired well in Primus tournies. On the whole, some styles
have an edge over the others, and the striker is definately not one of
the "advantaged" styles,
