Wild Hunter bossing trick?
so i realized when i use a green MPE potion and fight Hilla, my swipe attack hits her fast enough to keep her stuck in the hit animation and she cant use any moves. granted due to my current lack of Boss damage, i wasnt going to sit and hold swipe for an hour to kill her, but has anyone noticed this trick?
does it work on any other bosses? (I was thinking humanoids like Arkarium or something)
it could be useful especially if it works with other people attacking (which i may test later today)

I tried it with two other people to attack with me and we got a solid half of her health down without her being able to move or cast anything. I think someone accidentally used a rush move, pushing her out of my swipe, but once i tried a few more times, I was able to trap her again easily
i had an evan by my side spamming illusion and he says he was getting damage on her even when she was stuck in knockback
@FreeIcecream: But considering Hitokiri Strike would be the only skill able to do this solely because of the damage (both funded and unfunded, plus I highly doubt anyone would use Swipe to boss 100% of the time, as stated by the OP), you can't really compare it, sadly.
If I remember correctly (from tests on my Hayato), this "status effect" only works as a momentary pause. If you were to attack Hilla during the animation of Damage Reflect, you will still get killed. I think it'd be nice if you went with someone else to do these certain bosses because it would give them a chance to freely attack, not worrying about other status effects and et cetera. The only problem with this is (only for Hitokiri, I'm unsure about Swipe because I don't play WH) is the boss must be in the very corner to spam without worry (you won't move because there isn't space to move past the corner)
[quote=bluebomber24]cool trick. This actually used o be a common thing for Archers (Primarily Hurricane users) pre-Pirates that Knockback was actually considered a status effect to most. Glad there are still somg niftys, curious if there is more[/quote]
I know of Hayato's Hitokiri Strike, that can perma-stun mobs/bosses as well if you can lock them in a corner.

So its like a permanent bind
I believe this should work on all mobs/bosses you are able to knockback, since I'm pretty sure Swipe does multiple knockbacks per attack.
