What do you all think about thrown or ranged weapons having a chance of knockback on items? I don't know if there are bolts or explosive thrown weapons that have knock-back attached to AoE abilities. So, this post may be moot. For example, the islands with an item in the center that can only be looted if it is knocked back or self portaled to. My current characters do not have Knock-back or ranged AoE abilities at this time. So what I tried to do was throw a baseball and puffballs at the surrounded item. Problem is, you can't target the items.
I am pretty sure most/ all bombs have knockback, and can be thrown anywhere.. as for Archery there is a chance to knockback enemies with the second skill (although perhaps not what you are looking for). I do agree that you should be able to throw/ target at anything, perhaps baseballs shouldn't work though, or every character would be able to get them ^^
Concussive Bombs have knockback. It's what I use to use to knock items from those ledges, very useful. Though now I started ignoring them, as they'll never be as good as Evil Chest stuff, and it's too much trouble to make Concussive Bombs or choose a teleporting skill just to get it.
Pretty sure they can target anywhere (except walls), but I don't think they have any knockback.. just an AoE.
Yeah puffs can hit anywhere, they just don't do knockback. The only thrown item that actually does knockback is Concussion bomb
Only the concussion bomb? I could have sworn there were more bombs that pushed gates and stuff around (although not monsters). Whenever I start with a Throwing skill tree, that is what I use my free bombs for. I might have to test that later, since I am no longer quite sure myself ^^
