KB Protection on DP/Martial (help!)

[Chromatose890]

Hey all,

 

so I'm new to endgame/building and am experimenting with some changes to another players build I found and liked. I wanted to have some knockback protection, but I'm definitely missing something. I started out with -1.2 KB mag, and TWO enhancements brought me to 2.4 or 2.8. The other building I was building off of had just one -4 mag enhancement and was at 4 mag protection. What did I do wrong or what am I missing that gave me such low protection?

I am unable to open the build on my phone.  But I'll take a look at it soon as I can.  From which powers are you gaining that protection?

Hail of Bullets glitch in planner.  Uncheck the green mark at the end of Hail of Bullets and it will resolve.

 

The defense buff from HoB only lasts 5 seconds anyway, so better to plan without it and then get the bonus when you use it.

Okay, perfect! thank you! I was hoping it was some sort of visual error, but this math is hard for me. I appreciate it.

I'd probably go with only -4 mag protection (or bump it up to 12).  The vast majority of the time 4 is enough and often when 4 isn't neither is 8 points of protection.
