Knockback changes direction of some skills
Havent tested it for every instance of knockback, only for the very obvious self applied -> Magnum Shot.
Being in knockback motion (while still looking at target) makes direction based skills (like Scorch from Warden) or procs (like Velidreth) shoot from your back to somewhere behind you as if it was based on direction of movement and not facing (which is obv wrong since you can walk backwards or step to side and they will properly shoot to front).
tldr;
Scorch and Velidreth (may be all directional attacks) shoot behind you if you are in knockback motion from Magnum Shot (may affect all knockbacks).
