Base Mag is 7 (unehanceable) plus 2 enhanceable for total of 9
KB ehancers are 60% (Schedule D)
1 even SO (2x1.6) +7 = 10.2
2 even SO (2x2.2) +7 = 11.4
3 even SO (2x2.68) +7 = 12.36 (ED drops it from 2.8)

As a contrast....
3 -KB IOs (Karma, Steadfast, Zephyr) will total -12 Mag KB. It doesn't cost you a power pick, it costs no endurance, continues to function when you are mezzed, and uses the same number of Enhancement slots.
The only thing you lose is Mag 2 hold protection and the additional hold resistance. If you are a dark or fire, scrapper or tank, you won't really need either.

Acrobatics doesn't shut off whenever you are mezzed either, just so you know.

It is, however, a whole lot more expensive.

It doesn't detoggle, but it is supressed, which means you are spending endurance for no benefit.

Everything in the game is a trade off. Slotting for Acc, Dam, End, Rech, and secondary effects.
Power picks are finite. I can always earn more inf, or flashback to content where these drop, or buy them with merits, get that as random Bronze/Gold rolls or (horrors) put a low ball bid on them at Wents and wait patiently for them to fill. That last option allows me to pick them up when I'm not even logged on.
I have better things to spend the endurance on too..... like killing something before it can KB me.

Well, i need all the KB protection I can get. This toon will be strictly pvp, so DR will take a hit on my KB protection. Currently I have 40 KB pts with acrobatics unslotted. Also looking at picking up another 4 pts with Steadfast protection: KB or going with Gladiator Armor res tp/ 3%def.

[/ QUOTE ] Not if you are patient. You can get 12 points of KB protection for less than ten million influence(not sure about red side). I don't consider ten million influence expensive since it can be earned buying one recipe and selling the enhancement.
The Karma and Steadfast recipes can be had for 3 million or so apiece, but I've never seen a Zephyr anywhere near 10 million, either in recipe or crafted form. They're usually over 20 million.

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah that's why I worded my statement the way I did. 12 points of KB protection(using one or more of the karma and steadfast) instead of saying all three.
So is dropping a Karma -KB into Acrobatics itself stupid or fiendishly clever? (PvE only)

Ah, I thought you meant skipping Acrobatics and slotting all three KB IOs for 10 mil. I was wondering where you found that deal...

It would be feindishly clever..... if Acrobatics accepted Set IOs (it doesn't) It would be nice if you could slot KB IO sets. 4 slotted Kin Crash would be the bees knees here.

CUUUUUUURSE YOOOOOOUUUUU!!!
As the subject says. If I put KB in acro does it increase how much mag acro protects against?
