against certain AVs it would be a lot or impossible
BABs in his target AoE of energy transfer, has unresistable mag 28 kb (which is reason you see a stone with rooted on go flying every now and then)
sister P also has a very high mag kb in her levitate (something on the verge of 20-25 mag knockup)
those are basically rare cases though, and more than likely diabolique will have high mag knockback in her FF attacks
12 KB protect is good to protect vs about 98% of whats in the game aside from the few cases i mentioned here with extremely high mag kb/knockup or in BABs case, making it unresistable
Ten points of knockback protection will put you on a par with a scrapper or typical tank. Twenty points will put you on a par with a Rooted Granite tank.
52 points will let you resist things like three-slotted Force Bolt in PvP.

Not quite - melees with in-set KB protection get 10,000% KB resistance (no that's not a typo, it's actually 10,000%) which effectively turns all knockback into zero before the protection is even applied. For example, Rooted from Stone Armor gives the standard 10 points protection and 10,000% resistance, but Granite gives 10 points and no resistance.|

Diabolique is a rather nasty AV when it comes to knockback, since she's got a rather high-mag Force Bolt clone. Apart from her and a few select other encounters, though, there's almost nothing that will get through mag 12 KB protection (Recluse on the STF will go through 26, as an observation).

Sorry if this has been asked and answered already.
How much knockback protection is necessary now against AVs ????
I fought the "new" dialobique over the weekend and she tossed my dark
"i have 12 kn prot from sets hahaha" to the grass atleast five times.
Now my butt is sore.
. . .
wait that last line came out wrong.
