Power Boost Mechanic Question

I'm semi-aware of how power boost works with regards to powers.

I know that doing Power Boost will affect click powers like Deflection Shield or Fortitude for the entire duration of the buff.

I know it boosts toggle powers, such as defense buffed from Stealth or debuffed by Radiation Infection, for the duration of Power Boost only.

How does it affect summon powers? Specifically traps.

Will it boost the defense of Force Field Generator at all? For the duration of the FFG? Or just for the duration of Power Boost?

How about Poison Trap and Seeker Drones? Does it boost the effectiveness of their -regen or -tohit?


Where to now?

Hmm, good question.

I'm pretty sure that for the pseudo-pets (ie rain powers and such), it boosts them for the duration of the power boost itself (same effect as build-up/aim has).

For 'real' pets, I'm not certain, but I don't think it affects them at all.

This is my understanding as well.

Power boost doesn't affect 'real' pets (like Acid Mortar, Seeker Drones and FFG). It does affect the slow from Caltrops, and the hold from PGT
