KB Powers, i.e. Power Thrust

Going to take advantage of dual builds and make a specific pvp build with common IOs for my energy/energy blaster.

My question is how useful are powers like Power Thrust or Power Push in PvP?

Would they cause drama to an AT like a tank, brute, etc?

Thanks!

If you can mez them right before you KB them, yes. Otherwise, no. And considering mezzes would last like..less than half a second...it would be pretty difficult.

How original. Next time you whine about "no pvper' anymore" remember it's a$$hats like you that are killing your own game.

Hmm, so mabye a Bonesmasher or Total Focus + PT or PP might work. Interesting, probably not the most effective tool but could be fun.

Uh, PT wouldn't knock them back? Cuz, I'm thinking that PT could at least 'mez' the tank/brute for at least a sec allowing for another mez attack.

If not, then does a mez reduce kb resist?

A mez cancels kb protection of toggles for the duration of the mez. PT isn't a mez itself. By mez I meant stun or hold.

Note this only applies to toggle kb protection. Click protection powers like SR's practiced brawler aren't affected. They keep their kb protection even when mezzed.

you could slot a ton of devastation procs in all your attacks, they really catch people off guard and do just as much mezz as mezz ats.

It would work against /nin stalkers without having to mez them. /nin has no KB protection.

Edit: Clouded, if you're playing a energy/energy blaster, you shouldn't have to worry about tanks/scrappers unless you're going into.. Warburg. But in the RV world, you'd raise all kinds of hell against /nin stalkers, and if you can mez any other brute/stalker before you KB that'd be a pain in the [censored].

However if you were attacking dom out of domination, a corruptor, or an MM you'd def give them a hard time me thinks.

KB can work, just based on how many people I see falling over with my
TK thrust and the KB in shark on my fort. Most do that LoL at eng/eng
but even my blaster can PvP, just not as well as my fort but the fun is
pvping the toon you want, not always the one that will get the most kills.

(course my fort also loaded with mezzes to help it but that stun from /eng
might be what it takes to have fun with it)

Perhaps I'll pick-up the Elec mastery pool and the hold that is offered, I forget the name. Hmmm, decisions, decisions.

I too have an Energy Blaster and AHave used up 4 respecs trying to find the right build

my next attempt will be focusing on ACC so my big attacks, stuns and KB will actually hit something

I have PFF and heal self, but that does not work vs anyone with dark powers as their toggles keep interupting my heal self

Both power thrust and power push are exceptional KB powers. With a set of kinetic crash in either of them, they will hit for about mag 45.5 KB (you would also get an easy 7.5% rech bonus).

Mag 45 is more than enough to KB just about anything short of a few scrappers/tanks/brutes.
