Stagger/Knockdown is important for us figure out mostly because we need it to intercept Dragon roars. Dragon roars are the really only way my pawns ever die nowadays, and I've found that a Sanguine Stalk wielding Sorcerer casting High Frigor or Comestion with the Emphasis augment and 2 Barbed Nails are the best way to stop it.

My Fighter pawn with 2 Barbed Nails and a Devilsbane isn't nearly as effective at staggering dragons, even with Dragon's Maw. I'm thinking of switching her to a Warrior since their skill set and weapons are more conducive to staggering enemies.
