Acrobatics
Yup.
acro ftw ^^
1. mag 3 hold wont hold you (I get mag 5 hold protection with PB activated )
2. Hold Resistance
3. 100mag KB prot
So yeah its needed still :P
You NEED Acrobatics for PvP, the Hold resistance isn't that good. It's the 100 Mag KB resist, u'd need 25 KB IO's in your build to equal.
If you constantly team with Kins in PvP, you can get away with it with ID and IO's, but that leaves you rather dependant on a buff that has a short duration. Besides, it gives you a little mag protection from holds. Although it isn't anything spectacular numerically, test a squishy with no mezz protection vs a blaster or any non-controller with a hold. Without Acrobatics, they will hold you in 1 application, with acro, it will take two. (Dom in Domination is a different story).
Question is, with the knockback protection in IOs now, is it still a must on my blaster for PvP? many thanks
