Grounded provides Mag 15.6 KB/KU protection "when on the ground". The Steadfast KB will provide Mag 4 KB/KU protection at all times, giving you some KB/KU protection when jumping/flying. They will combine for Mag 19.6 KB/KU protection when on the ground.
Grounded also provides Mag 6 Immobilize protection, which according to the description only applies when on the ground, but may actually apply all the time (I'm not sure). I have Combat Jumping, too, so I don't have to worry about it since CJ has lots of Immob protection.
Grounded also has 86.5% Resistance to End Drain. This stacks with End Drain resistance of Static Shield. Elec Armor is basically immune to End Drain and -Recovery thanks to SS and Grounded.
Grounded is also nice for the extra Negative Energy Resistance, since that is a low spot in its resistances.

Just out of curiosity, in a Malta mission, I took out two spawns except for the Sappers. Two Sappers, doing nothing but firing their drains, would make his END bar move just enough to be noticeable, before it went back to full. Brutal.

Yes the end drain resistance is awesome. my elec/elec tanker is about the only tank I have that shrugs off those (in my opinion) way over powered Freak Super Stunners, or whatever the new unit is called. Gahh! My WP/FM tanker with stamina and quick recovery 3 slotted was drained by one of those things >.<

Oh and i'll note. when using, Lightning Rod, that brief teleport must count as you not being on the ground because many times I get knocked down after I fire that power. The Steadfast would probably negate that effect but personally I've never had it been an issue

Keep in mind that electric armor gets protection from endurance effects from *two* sources - grounded and static shield. Grounded gives you protection from endurance drains (86.5% at level 50) but no protection from -recovery debuffs. However, static shield gives protection from both drains and -recovery, and its protection passes 100% at level 31.
In other words, grounded isn't actually necessary for end drain/-recov protection. Since you cap energy resistance with just charged armor and conductive field, the actual usefulness of the power is the negative resistance, the -KB, and the -immob. Depending on the rest of your build, you may be able to get away with skipping it (CJ for -immob, IOs for -KB, and ignore the negative since it's not too common) if you're really tight on power slots.

Knockdown during Lightning Rod is the funniest thing ever. It looks like you screw up the teleport and land on your head or something.

The Bacon Compels You.
I was wondering if anyone had a little more info on the power Grounded from Electric Armor. I know it only provides KB protection while you feet are on the ground, But what would happen if i put a Steadfast KB protection in it? Would the KB protection from steadfast be global or would it follow the grounded stats? does Grounded have a effect that prevents end drain (like from zappers)
Thank you guys for all your help.
