Not terribly. You get a bit of throw when they attack, but without slotting for KB it really isn't that far from most targeted areas. If you're concerned, despawn your Phantasm and respawn them in a more KB-appropriate angle.|

On another note, if you're worried about Phantasm throwing people out of a kill zone, my next question would be, "why aren't they dead already?"

I know when I first got my phantasm and was using him, it got really annoying when he would KB my anchor away when I was firing off Heat Loss. However, I did get used to it and figured out a good way to still be able to get it double stacked reliably.
Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.
I enjoy playing in Mids. I specialize in Melee Characters, other AT's usually bore me.
Phanty has a kind of a pattern he follows when attacking. He often will cast his decoy at first, and that takes a few seconds. As long as you use your melee debuffs and powers first, before Phanty winds up and fires off his knockback, you should be fine. If you take a while to use them, however, Phanty may frustrate you. Often the best thing to do is let Phanty have his own foe-toy to play with while you work on the others. His Decoy will often keep that foe busy, so you don't have to worry about Time's Juncture on that one foe. You should focus on wiping out the minions nearest to the Phantom Army first.
Phanty's knockback is a lot more of a problem for Illusion/Kin, because Kin has so many melee range siphon powers.
By the way, you may want to take a look at my Illusion/Rad guide (link in my sig) for your Illusion side. Lots of stuff in there about the powers and some strategy suggestions. It is a good idea to understand how Illusory damage works or you will miss out on a lot of damage. Illusion has some unique aspects that are unlike other powersets.

Thanks for the tips, guys.
