If you hit power build up and turn on say stealth and hover. Would it keep that defense bonus as long as the powers stay toggled? Or would the bonus wear off as soon as the pbu duration is over? And if anyone finds any info on this on the forums paste it here if you would. Appreciate your time and help!

No, the increase in effectiveness would fade almost immediately after PBU fades. You've got to remember that toggles are not actually on-off switches. They are actually continually reapplied powers. Radiation Infection applies the debuff every .5 seconds. Choking Cloud applies its hold once every 5 seconds. They don't turn on a durationless effect that is reliant on continually having the toggle on. They simply refresh the power effect itself on a regular basis without consuming any animation time.

It's actually useful for any long duration effect. The Force Field bubbles, Fortitude, and a number of other powers benefit from it rather significantly. I will concur that the power itself is generally more useful for increasing damage over the short term than actually providing buff/debuff support.

Yea I know..was just referring to my trick arrow defender. I have stealth and hover and him. And i alway's wondered if pbu worked on powers like stealth,shadow fall,steamy mist,etc.
