Ah, but he clearly said "There are two IOs that give -KB" when there are clearly three.

Two IOs...more than two SETS. Big difference. Never gave a definitive number of sets.

Blessing of the Zephyr: Knockback Protection (4 Points) Global: this enhancement functions like a set bonus..

Aett is still wrong.

There's also the Kinetic Crash set as well. Four of those give an additional 3 points of KB protection.

Also, for the OP, since your character is a tank, you will probably want at least 12 points, perhaps 15 or 16 points of protection. When you hit the higher levels, you will be fighting a lot of Nemesis. And if you are getting knocked all over the place by those Fake Nemi robots, you are not going to be very effective as a tank.

Eh - Using IOs, I rarely have more than 8 and haven't had an issue with it.

Yeah, 4 pts covers about 80-85% of Knockback, 8 pts. 99% of knockback, that you will encounter.

With 8 points of KB protection, the only things that have knocked me back on my fire tank have been: Jack in Irons, Rikti Pylons, occasionally Fake Nemesis, Lord Recluse in STF, and occasionally Mary MacComber and friends in the KHTF. I'm sure there are other things, but those are what I remember off hand.
