3 points of KB protection isn't quite enough for all the run of the mill KB you will encounter. If you dislike KB in general than Lightening Clap is where you will most likely want this set.
If you are a KBphile like my Energy/Elec is you'll want it in Energy Torrent, Explosive Blast, Lightening Clap, and Thunderstrike. Just because that toon likes the KB so much I picked up the fire epic and slotted it into Bonfire as well.

I slotted into bonfire. 3 points of KB protect is actually pretty decent. At least it protects against the run of the mill KB that get's so annoying. It's definitely noticeable.
grab power push and shove kinetic crash into that. (thats assuming you have all of the powers you want and have extra attack slots you want to fill up)
Energy Torrent does good damage so give it Positron's Blast, not Kinetic

Ammo switching for Dual Pistols was my idea:

I wanted the Kinetic Crash for my 23 Energy/Electric blapper the moment I saw it offered KB protection. Of course, that's assuming that "3 pts of protection" is as good as I think it is. I hate getting knocked over. While I'm at it, I figured I woldn't mind having all of my recharges sped up either. The downside seems to be that damage bonuses are de-emphasized, and that most folks really don't need tons of extra KB bonuses.
Anyway, has anyone experimented with this enough to figure what an ideal power to stick it in is? I started slotting it into Power Burst, but again that's sucking away damage where it needs to be maximized. I might stick it on Power Blast despite its low chance for KB, because it will get a healthy recharge boost.
I'm also tempted to get the set twice, just to double-dip the KB protection (hopefully it'll stack).
What do you guys think?
