Does hand clap work well against a MM in PvP?

I was curious as to how well hand clap would work against a MM on two fronts:

1) How well does it stop incoming damage? Does slotting it with stun IOs increase the duration of it's stun or just the mag?

2) How far can hand clap knock back MM pets? If it's slotted with KB IOs will that be enough to knock MM pets out of BG mode or a MM's AoE healing radius?

Thanks in advance.

(on another note, I was thinking of dropping taunt for this and thought about the -range in taunt. Does that -range effect the MM's heal radius?)

You won't stun the pets, and I don't believe you'll knock them out of bodyguard mode, although it's worth testing.

Get foot stomp and you won't even need lol Clap.

Both are true Generic. You will not stun the minions, but you DO stun the mm for 2 seconds regardless of how much duration you slot in it. If he's in BG mode that won't matter he's still benefiting.

Although like you said, you could try slotting for knockback, but these AoE knockbacks are sometimes wonky. Sometimes it throws them at a downward angle, sometimes in a good 40 degree angle.

But BG range is pretty far still. You could test if you like. But remember, if he's in BG mode the minions will immediately run back into range. You'd get a window MAYBE of 4 to 5 seconds tops. It all depends on where the minions flew, and if they are still in BG range or not.

So MM pets have mez resistance that hand clap can't overcome in a single application?

I guess that makes sense.

As for lolfootstomp, I was thinking about hand clap because I was thinking I could mez the pets and hand clap kb is better.
