"She?" lol.

If you're going to attempt to make other people look bad, it really helps your case if you don't make yourself look like a fool.

Sadly, Ice shields can be enhanced for resistance, and FF can't, which is why one can be PBed and the other not.
Does this mean that Link Minds from Psionic Mastery can be Power Boosted? It doesn't look like the 2% psionic resistance can be enhanced...

There's a very small resistance component (1.7% to psi, thanks a lot) that puts it into the category of powers PB can't touch. Looks like I'll have to spend a respec...

I respec'ed out of Link Minds when I noticed that the defense wasn't be affected by Power Boost so I can't check right now to see if the Psi resistance can be enhanced. I'll maybe make a mock build with my second build to check it later tonight. It would certainly be nice if it didn't and we could get the flag turned on to PB Link Minds.

That'd be a second time I've been foiled by a power with +def with power boost and got it popped. Stupid +resistance (and the amount too, at least Cold Dom shields have more than 3% resistance on any AT that has it).

Updating: I just checked in game and Link Minds does not accept Resistance enhancement. According to the rules as I've understood them, it should be affected by Power Boost. I'll pm Castle and ask him if this is working as intended.

Given Castles publicly stated dislike of Power Boost and what it does I'd reckon it not affecting Link Minds is working as intended.
