Yep, easiest way to go about it honestly. If it applies first it'll be much less likely to reduce damage to near nothing. A flat number reduction -after- percentage based reduction is nuts, and that's how Resist > defenses work. How it works now is--

Resist > DEF/RES > DR > KNP.

So you can see how overpowering KNP is when it effectively grants you -another- layer of defense. As has been stated. So, yeah, please make it go first or even just with DEF/RES.
