This is why both Potent Poison and Executioner is in this trait line. The only problem I have with Mug is the healing aspect of it added as a compensation for preventing Mug from crit-ing, it is simply out of flavor for Deadly Arts. I have mentioned here before that **I, my personal opinion, think that Mug should knock the target down instead.**

They can change the rule. That is just a quality of life issue. I agree, long CC should not be overruled.
