Kin/Energy Defender?

[Mythcreatio]

I'm curious what people would think of a Kin/Energy Blast setup. Is EB really all that bad knock back wise as people claim it is?

It is.

And it is awesome.

Whenever there is knockback on my team I follow a you knock it, you own it mindset. If I go in for a big pbaoe or cone and they are knocked back before I can start, I'm just gonna move to the next mob and whoever knocked the mobs can deal with them. You can mitigate the knockback with kb to kd IOs and especially on a defender you have a bit more slots than most to play with while keeping softcapped defenses, so it shouldn't be to bad. Just be aware that you may be asked to be responsible for what you knockback.

It is a counterproductive combo. The only way I could tolerate it would be via using Hover and possibly slotting in -KB into attacks as needed.
