Correction: My power thrust is enhanced to about 45 magnitude KB according to mids.
Ideally you need a slight bit more ... "As reported by Castle, the mez protection during the "triangles up" period adds 50 magnitude (stacking with inherent protection and any possible toggles or buffs), and covers Hold, Knockback, Confuse, Repel, Disorient, and Fear effects, but does not cover Sleep nor Immobilize effects." from >> http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Purple_Triangles
Can't recall if any of the current Incarnate Abilities boost Knockback magnitude ...
Edit (to add): No, none add to kb that I could find with a quick look over the Incarnate Abilities.

Wouldn't Power Boost take it up over 50?

Power boost does not improve knockback. If Power Boost's description still says it does, it's inaccurate.|

I'm still mostly wondering about KB magnitude to distance knocked back formula. Does anyone know how it's computed?
I'm in the process of designing a perma-PB Dark/NRG/Soul blaster. I will be staying at range using my cones with boost range helping out. I was stuck with taking power thrust, but I figure I would go ahead and utilize it's mitigation by 6 slotting kinetic crash into it for the IO bonuses. Now from my calculations, this makes Power Thrust a 48 magnitude knock back, and I thought wow... how far will that knock someone? I couldn't find any info about kb mechanics on paragon wiki, so I am hoping someone can tell me just how far X amount of KB would knock someone back. Can I knock down or back an AV with that? I would love to know just how useful and powerful this T1 power can be.
