For the people wondering what I meant by broken, And Stay Back is broken in the "This is way too overpowered way." I cruised through most of the game using magnum rounds in a 20ga Lever-Action Shotgun, so I was doing less damage than I could be doing and having to handload every few shots, which wasn't nearly enough of a crutch.
Since And Stay Back's knockdown chance is applied to every single pellet, that x7 and x9 you see on your shotgun is 7-9 chances for the knockdown to occur. None of the legendaries managed to lay a finger on me other than the Deathclaw getting the drop on me, and giving the Bloatfly a free shot because I wanted to see how much of it I could take. As soon as I had them in my sights, though, they spent the entire encounter laying on the floor.
Everything from robo-scorpions to legendary beasts to fully kitted out assassin squads all met the same fate, spending all their time in a crumpled knockdown state, utterly trounced by a [censored] with a lever-action shotgun.
