Some relevant stuff.

Important, especially for Ricky to review: Scoundrels in 2.7; Shoot First will root target rather than knock them down. BW compensates for this by allowing a Back Blast to be shot from any direction, not just from behind, but again only when following a Shoot First can it be used from any orientation. This was done since they can still turn to face you despite being rooted.The knockdown was removed because even if you used your CC break, you would still be unable to do anything until your character stood back up. Not having seen it in practice yet, they could be attacking you right away before you do a Back Blast, being detrimental to the initial DPS output.
Again, it's been stressed that we mess with this a lot on the PTS to have numbers to back up any feedback we give.
