Adjust/Remove No Knockback for high damage Short Sword attacks

For any other warrior weapon or talent, if you want to dump crits into a player and do more than 40 dmg each hit you will need them para because otherwise they will fly away and you have to chase them.

But with SS you can do hits of 100+ with extra crits from the talent and stunlocking them at the same time. If a player was paralysed and being hit for 100+ they would not be stunned by other talents.

Feels like SS crit spam is the antithesis of braindead play to be able to hold alt click and do 5-600 dmg while also interrupting the victim from moving and casting, as well as not having had to para them to do so.

I think this should be removed or adjusted, if it devalues the talent some extra perks could be added. Could try 80dmg instead of the normal 40 dmg, or make it more like a rouge talent where its no knockback is on the SS talent not the weapon, and it only stuns and avoids knock back when hit from behind. This would give players some means to deal with it by turning around.

crit gap should also increase to 1 tile if this was changed
