Isn't "Trip" basically just Sweep? 'Cause that's literally what Sweep does. It knocks people down, and causes stagger.
As I commented in chat, if by "Is it a knockdown with stagger? Then Yes." So is tackle. It's a variation on a knockdown ability. and out the gate, a poorer one.

Shameless bump, plus I still really want to see a knockdown ability for non-Warriors. I think it would make their combat a lot more enjoyable.
