FX of Powerboost

I am liking the fact that in GR, Defenders now can access a powerboost other than the very long recharging Powerbuildup.

But can anyone tell me if I powerboost, and use for example Deflection Shield... does the increased defense stay on the target until the shield expires or, only until the powerboosted time runs out (15sec)

Thank you in Adv for your answers.


Consciousness: that annoying time between naps.

For your example (Deflection Shield) it sticks around for the duration of the Shield (4 mins). Ditto with something like Fortitude.

Your big bubble would only get it for 15 seconds though (ditto with the PPP Defense Shield Black Scorp has) because they are toggles, and Cold Defenders are out of luck altogether because it won't affect that at all due to the minor Resistance each shield also gives AFAIK.

Ah cool, so secondary effecting shields don't benefit for the whole duration.

Thats quite nice for Forcefields then... Soul Mastery on a bubble fender means that you can powerboost shields and give your team 38.5% def ! :O

Just to pick a secondary now... hmmm

Dark would work well as PB will also affect Dark Pit (which is usually pants but if you Frankenslot it it'd be alright). Not to mention a self-heal and all that stacking -ToHit.

You'd be very team orientated of course.
