Knockback Protection IOs

Again, this is information I haven't seen posted anywhere so I just figured I'd share my personal experience. IMO, it's some of the most useful practical information I've found in applying anything IO. These IOs are now my absolute favorite new addition to the game.

The two IOs in question are -

Oh the delicious irony of slotting that into Increased Density... I love it! I was skeptical these would be too effective considering that Acrobatics is -100 KB (no, really...) but it sounds like this would be enough for my Kinetic; currently I'm going jumping with him for Acro but I'd rather have not had to go there.

I like the irony of using *any* teammate buffs for these things. Though it's more giggle-worthy when they're buffs you actually have to click to get yourself... like if one slotted Regenerative Tissue's +Regeneration in, say, Adrenalin Boost. On the other hand, I'm a bad bad defender, because I had almost no qualms whatsoever about replacing a damres in ID & Shadowfall with my shiny KB enhancements.

As for the effectiveness, I learned the benefits backwards. My first thought was their usefulness against Hami and was slightly miffed but not surprised I'd need 3... but then to turn around and find that the vast majority of PvE experiences were nullified with just 1 was then a very happy discovery.

Acrobatics is no longer 100 mag KB protection. I12 brought it down to 9 points.

Why are you replying to a post that's over a year old?

Sorry, mind is a bit muddled. dixey linked to this post from the recent post about KB IOs, and while reading through the read, I absent-mindedly forgot to check the age of the post. Apologies. A bit stressed from work.
