Dark Armor questions

There's a funny thing about knockback is almost always under 4 and when it is above that it tends to be above 8. So I aim to hit 11/12ish protection

I had 8 for the longest time on my Fire Tank. Found myself getting KBd in the final fight on the ITF so I went to 12. No more KB from what I’ve noticed on the ITF (unless I got lucky) but I am still getting flopped around by Lord Recluse.

Yes.  Armor sets with KB protection also get KB Resistance, meaning the 10-12 KB protection they get is good enough for all content (that I'm aware of).  unfortunately there's no way to build KB resistance that I am aware of, and even if you could, you'd need several hundred percent for it to be useful.

I went back and changed it, rather not have to deal with KB or as little as possible. Just dropped off a slot out of Shadow Punch since I'm only using it for exemp content anyways, and added a 3rd to Obsidian Shield for the extra KB prot.
