Power Boost/Power Build Up and Shields

Okay, so. I'm a little confused about this little aspect.

I know that the shields on Cold Domination aren't affected by either Power Boost nor Power Build Up because they affect both Defence and resist. Or so did someone tell me on these boards a long time ago.

Now, Force Field shields also give resistance (Toxic/end drain) as well, does that mean they're not affected with them either?

What about Thermal and Sonic shields? Are they boosted by Power Boost/Power Build Up?

I would test that myself except sadly I don't have all the above mentioned power sets at high enough levels to test it.

Thanks in advance.

If it gives enhanceable resist, it isn't affected by PB. If it doesn't, PB will affect it.

FF bubbles are indeed affected by PB, because their resistance values are not enhanceable (unlike cold shields)

Therm and sonic shields are not enhanced by PB either.
