300.00 magnitude knockback on target unresistable
it's a nuke blowing up in your face 
to note, Statesman and Sister Psyche will punch through a Granite's KB protection (believe BABs and LR can too, but I'm not 100% sure anymore)
Yeah, sort of the same idea as the Steel Canyon fires if you don't get them all out. "We're going to do damage. We're going to do a lot of damage. You *Will Not* survive." (unless you're standing in JUST the right spot - I've actually been standing on top of one of them, apparently in a very tiny dead zone, had it explode and do nothing to me. Which was weird. Another time I was just off a corner of the building. Never have found those spots again.)

the other one that could hit was BABs because his [back alley power punch] has unresistable kb
states *can* knockup a stone only if he is not running rooted while in granite

There I was between a rock and a hard place. Then I thought, "What am I doing on this side of the rock?"
My Granite Tanker was soloing Rikti Bombs today with Granite and Rooted running. That's a LOT knockback protection (20 points) AND Knockback resistance:
I got knocked backward to land on my butt SEVERAL times. I'm sure unexploded bombs did it when they exploded; it's also possible that fresh bombs from the dropships, the dropship rays, or something else ALSO did it.
I can understand them doing enough -knb to overcome the protection but the whole experience seemed pretty extreme. Is that knockback unresistable or something?
