does Balthazar's Pendulum prevent kd from psychic instability?

it seem it doesn't.... but isn't Balthazar's Pendulum supposed to be able to prevent kd from foes who causes the kd?

Test it? I'm pretty sure it would prevent any KD unless it specified from melee weapons only.

I don't think it would KD. This is because the KD isn't a direct result of a player ( like bulls strike is or shock) but PI is a conditional KD.

Probably wrong though.

it just says kd by a foe, and tested it didn't prevent, don't know is a bug or a feature.

but pi cause the kd, isn't?....

it would be quite bad for Balthazar's Pendulum as an elite not able to prevent the kd

Not sure of exact descript ATM

But if it says Interrupts AND KDs foe, it'll just interrupt.

Tested:
Balthazar's Pendulum does NOT reverse the knockdown from Psychic Instability, even though it intuitively should.

Ok, PI doesn't work... That's very strange, indeed.

@Keyez; Sense no make? Bull's is as conditional as they get.

so is a bug or a feature?..... I mean yes interrupt...but kd is another matter, cause I can't move away when kd..

I would guess it's a bug, or at least an unintended consequence.
