It was changed because it boosted KB mag far too potently and people didn't like that it boosted their KD powers to the point where they were KB (KD isn't an actual mechanic, it's simply KB with a mag less than 1). The short text on the description, however, was never updated. /bug the description.

umm...so people took a KB heavy set like Energy, used power boost, and it (Godforbib) changed any knockDOWN power into knockBACK?
WTF!!?
/boggle
It was changed in I13 in part so that Power Boosted KB powers didn't blow through KB protection in PvP.

Also, the PVP thing above. Although I seem to recall it was changed prior to I13. Hmm.

Yeah, PB got nerfed (and its +KB component removed) along with acrobatics before i13, probably in i12 or so

The nerf definitely came with the Acro change. I thought that was with the I13 PvP changes.

Aha! Found it.
Acro changed in Issue 12 (Midnight Hour, with Cimerora, etc), as did Power Boost in Doms. Other ATs with Power Boost aren't listed, oddly, nor are the Accolades that also boosted KB (which IIRC were changed at the same time as, for instance, Energy Manipulation).

Err. Why, none! What are you talking about? :x *jedi hand wave, run away*
(Brain fart. I was thinking of Earth Assault, but that didn't come along till after the change, and my brain supplied something totally unrelated that was. LOL)

People took a KD-heavy set like Earth Control, then took the Primal Forces Mastery, and all of a sudden, things were flying off their Earthquake patches.

Ok question for you guys why does the description of this power say it affects KB mag but it doesn't actualy? If it was changed recently does anyone know why? Thxs for any answers.
