It is unfortunately b, I had the set on my grav/ff for a bit and replaced the proc pretty fast (althouth stupefy is still a solid set without it.) It's not actually about the radius, its that anything in the middle of bing KBd is immune to being ported. Theoretically its possible with any KB/TP combo (and I think I've seen it happen on occasion to rikti using their own teleports) but the timing is tricky and the stupefy proc does it reliably.
On the plus side while it will somewhat split the spawn, the stun does still land on the things stupefy procs on.
Ah nuts. I was afraid that'd be the answer. Back to staring at mids trying to find that extra slot it keeps hiding from me ...
Eureka! Think I've got it. This is one tight build ...
My goals were: Capped ranged def, full stealth + tp for tf's etc, no purples (yet), no pvp's.
And this is what I have:

Would have loved to be able to beef up the slotting on ice storm and put some damage in gravity distortion but can't see how ...
Of course swapping out the lockdowns in grav distortion for another set of thunderstrike would solve one of those issues ... And I'm going to stop replying to myself now 
Hi All,
I'm trying to figure out what my end build should be for my lastest project - grav/storm. I'm shooting for the cap to ranged defence and it would be really helpful to be able to use the whole of stupefy in wormhole but that means taking the knockback proc in there ... Has anyone done this and can you tell me what happens? I'm thinking that either:
a) It's a good thing - anything tagged by the power when activated is still teleported regardless of where they end up in the meantime and so the knockback serves to mitigate retaliation during the activation window ... or ...
b) It's a bad thing - anything knocked out of the 15' power radius doesn't get ported leading to a greater chance of a split spawn.
The way it looks to be shaping up this is the difference between having to take the fighting pool or not (I hate burning powers to get weave - seems like such a waste).
Cheers!
