Power Boost
[ QUOTE ]
So it would affect the to hit buff portion of buildup/accuracy, but not the damage portion? Or is there a difference between 'To-Hit buffs' and 'Accuracy'?

Slight difference (see formula below, ignoring caps). It affects the ToHitBuff of Aim/BU so it improves your NetToHit which is what matters (but not your damage).
NetToHit = (InherentAttackAccuracy) * (1 + AccuracyEnhancement) * [ BaseToHit + ToHitBuffs - ToHitDebuffs - (Defense - DefenseDebuffs) ]

I assume I'm right in thinking that the power only boosts the effects of powers that you cast, not buffs affecting you that have been cast by someone else. ie, you'd get a bonus to aid self, but not if someone used aid other on you?

That's right, it only affects powers which you cast yourself.

[/ QUOTE ]It affects the +ToHit of aim and BU, yes. However, accuracy and tohit are two different things, abd uit doesn't boost ACC (Then again, there are no accuracy buff/debuff powers in the game anyways)

Just out of interest, what uses does this power actually have? Is it literally just for people with a lot of control effects on their primary blast set, or does it boost the effects of stuff like hasten as well?
[/ QUOTE ]The power is truely one of the most uber you can get in the game. 3 slot it with recred
I know this doesnt directly answer your question, but you have to use it to appreciate it

I'm not aware that it boosts that... as it doesn't have a secondary affect.. just a primary "+regeneration"

I think it was fully established earlier in the thread that it does not matter what the power is or what affects it has, only if the specific effect is listed as primary or secondary in the game engine.

Some Things Power Boost DOES NOT Affect
Jump Speed/Height

Don't think this is right - may have changed but it definitely used to increase both speed and jump height of Super Jump.
"ToHit Buffs/Debuffs"

I'm getting the feeling that this power is either totally skippable or the cornerstone of your build depending on how much number crunching your willing to do beforehand.
