Guardian hammer and engie rifle got launch skills. They are different to knockback skills like point blank shot.

Pretty much this. But from what I recall I don’t think all knockback skills work on someone who’s down, the only exception I think is overcharged shot but I could be wrong. Nevermind overcharge is a launch.

It is a good thing downed foes cannot be knocked back. Its obnoxious enough when they are launched.
Launch is a CC mechanic that slowly changes your location.
Knockback and Pull mechanics are instant and you cannot Sun-Break in the middle of your flight.
Point Blank Shot being a knockback is fine.
“Observe, learn and counter.”
Why do you want to knock back a downed foe?
In order to properly understand the big picture,
everyone should fear becoming mentally clouded and obsessed with one small section of truth.

Go get him off the Point to prevent point capture.
Or to push him away from his resurrecting teammates.
Or to promote BearBow category to prevent your team stomping the enemy.

you can stun break knockbacks/pulls. Anet changed that so you could do just that.
So from my understanding it’s still a form of “cc” period.
There as other classes have the ability to cc a downed person why is our only good cc not applied anymore like it used too?

I think it has always been a knockback and not a launch.

This.
Plus – Spike Trap does CC the downed targets.

I don’t think downed targets can trigger traps. Unless someone else comes over and steps on it, they downed person wont be launched. Again I’m not sure why OP wants to launch downed targets, it makes no sense.
You also want to be able to interrupt the downed persons counter skill, which is why Daredevil got a 0 distance launch on its elite skill.

None of them do, like I said… Launch is a different CC.
