How much -KB is needed?

Specifically for fighting Nemesis on a SS/Fire. I currently have 7 points from a BotZ and a full set of Kinetic Crash. Is that enough or am I going to be flopping around from Nemesis wands?

That should be plenty unless you get hit with several simultaneously.

You need more than 7 for Nemesis, the Fakes will knock you back. I have 3 -kb which is 12 points and that is fine. I'm not sure the exact number you need, but it's more than 8.

Hm, okay. Thanks for the info. I might need to throw another slot into CJ then for a Karma. Hopefully 11 will be enough.

My Fire/kin has 8 and solos the TV mish just fine(+1/x8), so 8 or less I guess. I never notice any Knockback or knockdowns at all.

I had a Fire/Ice tanker that had 8 -KB for a long time, and got KBed very rarely. When I started running against Fakes I got KBed more frequently and so I got another Steadfast -KB went all the way to 12.

It could be because you were on +1. Running on +2, you will still get knocked back from the Fake's Staff Bolt.

Depending on mission some spawns are at varied level, so even a +1 mission will get the odd +2 boss.

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.

I run with no bosses so that may change things, though of course there still are the Fakes and Warhulks, they just are lieutenants.

same. i dont see the point in running with bosses. +1/+8 with no bosses makes it easier to tear thru mobs. less time. but i farm for purples, the faster the better. ive actually started running +1/+6 w/no bosses. i had 3 purps drop in one run thru TV. I guess if ur PLing bosses would make a difference.

Well bosses also have a chance to drop Pool C recipes, which are the ones you otherwise need merits to get. So some people like to farm them for that reason.
