EM.
boost range is still awesome.
pb is meh for anything but screeching.
doesnt PB make hoarfrost even better?
So why EM over Mental? Mentals added damage capabilities sound like a 1 2 combo to me.
Added damage how?
Guess I'm picturing the -res+mostly un-resisted Psi damage as a finisher.
damage type doesnt matter anymore
Guess I should have paid better attention to patch notes I suppose. But if dmg type doesn't matter, how does the resistance to those types matter? For instance; if I wanted to build a DA tank to resist psi dmg, that wouldn't really matter?
it matters on non-squishies because they lack inherent resists. but all armors now resist psi in some way (be it def or resists).
but, mostly so, there are no specialists in pvp anymore.
welcome to dr.

I see what your saying, now. So dmg type aside...what gives EM the opinionated edge over Mental for my build?

Exactly what do you think powerboost is good for in pvp now?
Duel me.
I will work on my sig pic more when I have time.
DR-off matches? *snicker*

Only thing I can think of is powerboosted BU. It's like having a second aim.
power boosting boost range still works too doesn't it? O.o?
Yes. Just as well as power boosting Rest.

I miss you, baby.

Power boost is very, very good. Boost range is icing on the cake for the /EM set.
In zone it can really be exploited. U can use it on both Tactics, and Menuv. You can use it to boost Frozen armor and HF heal. I think it still boosts boost range as well.
But if you don't take EM which is understandable /mental is a good choice I think.

While true, with pb + aim up you are way over the tohit cap, with pb + bu up tactics is overkill. Maneuvers, heh.

You have never been able to power boost the defense frozen armor. Anything with a plus resistance on it gets flagged to ignore pb. And guess what, hoarfrost has a +res component as well and is not effected either. The good news is these powers aren't effected by -special either, but that still doesn't make power boost good.

Unless the combat numbers are lying this is not working and it never should have anyway, and would be nothing more than a bug.
Boost range is seriously THE reason to go em, power boost thanks to dr is almost a worthless power choice.

LOL mental.
Don't judge it until you fight one. 
@Intro lolPvP
Never tried a Sonic build. I see pro to both secondaries. Both being my stand alone favorites. But through all my builds I've never tried Power Boost. Thinking about giving it a try. Power Boost useful for a Sonic in duel situations? Does PB happen to increase the -res of Sonic? Does WoC provide any "real" defense? Or not enough to care? Appreciate it.
