Just a while ago, I was running my brother's Necromancer through again, and this time, I got 5 Ice Wedges in a row from Baal+clone! I mean, WTH? I got pushed from the centre(the path leading to the bridge to the WS) all the way into the bottom right corner. Now THAT is too much. To the best of my knowledge, no other knockback in the game even comes CLOSE to that. Not Smite, not Charge, not Bash, NOTHING. And Baal gets to fire those off non-stop... I eventually kicked his ass back into oblivion of course, but he got the last laugh. A "Realms Down" and a "Game Does Not Exist" later, he robbed me of a Twitchthroe, an Angelic Sickle, and a bunch of gems. :_(The Cold Wedge is not one attack yielding one big knockback. It is one attack that knocks back, hits you again, knocks back, hits you again etc.
Basically it's just knocking you back into its own personal line of fire as it comes barreling through. You're swallowing one attack about 5 times or so, hence the reason why I advocate MDR.
And BTW, Charge can basically pull off much the same stunt. ;)
