Why my DM/FA can't solo pylons...

I'm putting up the dps to wreck the pylons in sufficient time. I'm able to survive the attacks pretty easily. However, every 5 seconds or so I get knocked back and in the time it takes me to get up it regenerates enough to nullify my dps...

Cruelest joke ever devs!

You consider just picking up acrobatics or slotting a knockback IO?

It's as if the devs knew you needed them!

Maybe someone else can answer that question. I would suggest a high recharge soft-capped Dark/Shield build for the most long-term sustained damage. Dark as the mitigation and end recovery to survive a drawn-out fight. Soft-capped builds will help matters.

I have 1 KB IO slotted. I assume that pylons do silly mag **** you knockback and I'm screwed. Am I mistaken?

Yes. They don't KB most tanks, so 12 points (3 KB IOs) should be enough.

Edit: I've just remembered - my Fire/Fire tank has tanked pylons on raids and never been KB'd. He has 3 steadfasts.
