My question, then, is Power Push broken or do they scale back its mag in PvP to the baseline, making it unenhanceable? |
That tank also has KB resistance (around 1000?) on top of his KB protection. Even if you get past his protection he can't be knocked around (this applies to a few toggles.) KB is also affected by DR.
Basically if an armor set has in-set KB protection (Integration, Unyielding, Rooted, Indomitable Will, Practiced Brawler, whatever) you will not be able to KB them. The exception to this rule is Elec Armor because it doesn't have any KB resistance to go with its KB protection.
