Sure Footed

[AreeSoothsayer]

I have Primed Sure Footed. 100% Protection, by melee blocking.

Just now I was doing a Kuva Flood and ran into a room... with at least 20 Ancients. I kid you not.

I was block locked as one after another of them hit me with their dragline until I was downed. 

100% Chance to Resist Knockdown... Cost 16 Mod points AND 1s block lockdown.

Handspring. Cost 9 Mod Points. 0.5s to get up.

It's really gonna suck to re-forma my Exilus slot to change it.

[CopperBezel]

Yep. Handspring is absolutely the better choice. Or settle for Constitution on frames that need duration to spare your exilus slot.

idk, how often does that happen? ive only ever had that happen like twice in nearly 7 years.

Primed Sure footed did not exist 7 years ago. 

The problem with it is that while it...

1) ...is locked behind Login Rewards

2) ...is a Primed mod with hefty Endo/Credit cost to max

3) ...has a horrid Capacity drain for a utility mod AND a Vazarin polarity (while Handspring is Naramon, which means you can easily switch it for Coaction Drift or Rush)

...It is still noticeably inferior to Handspring. More stagger frames, long forced block animation. For its cost it should provide flat knockdown immunity, like Iron Skin/Warding Halo, not this garbage.

I was referring more to the whole "room fool of ancients spamming the drag whip" part

Happens every time New Loka sends their death squad after one of your team members.

Made a video. Showing how it currently works and a gimmick to make it work like it SHOULD!

It's even worse when you're trying to reload. Constantly getting your reload interrupted by that animation is ridiculous. It would be nice if it just didn't affect you, like with Atlas, he just ignores it completely.

That is exaclty how  I thought it would work when I heard about the Primed version. I was Severely disappointed.

I'm not sure how your video showcases anything.  It's supposed to protect you from knockdowns.  You were not knocked down at all in that video.  I agree that it saying 100% chance to ignore is misleading since it's really like 99. something %.  And that should be fixed.  But it seems like you're asking for animation immunity.  Which isn't the point of the mod.

[CopperBezel]

I think it's the only source of knockdown prevention that comes with the stagger animation, though. It's a weird trick for the login reward system to play on people. There'd be no reason at all to guess that behavior based on the mod's description.
