Power Boost and Bubbles

Could someone explain how Power Boost works with FFs dispersion Bubble? If you have a recharge on PB of 32 seconds and the effect duration is 15 seconds, does the boost to DB last for just those 15 seconds? For that matter, what of the little bubbles? Sorry to post such a newbie question but I just want to make sure I understand this correctly.

Click powers, like the Deflection Shield and Insulation Shield, will be boosted for their full duration. Toggle powers like Dispersion Bubble will only be boosted for the 15 second duration of Power Boost.

No worries about asking questions. It's the best way to learn and we welcome people with good attitudes.

Thanks a bunch for the help Ketch. I appreciate the speedy reply. So would Power Boost be worth it on a toon that is primarily gonna be duoed with a friends Ice Tank? The other option I am considering Stone Mastery to cap my S/L defense and the added control of Fissure and the devastation in my ST chain of Seismic Smash as well as capping my HP. (Wow runon sentence much?)

I think a lot depends on your primary (which you did not disclose) and your build. If you have a lot of control powers that will be boosted by Power Boost (like Mind), then Primal is a great choice. If your primary is mostly melee (Fire, Ice, Elec), then Earth could work. If you work better staying at range while your friend draws the aggro, then Ice may be a better choice (Defense shield, ranged single target and two ranged AoEs.) And if you have a problem with mez (which you shouldn't with Dispersion bubble), then Psi is a good choice.

Ahh sorry about that. I thought i popped that in there. Its a Mind/FF troller. The way I have been playing it so far is my buddy rushes in with his Ice tank and grabs up aggro. I spread my mezzes around to keep as many as possible incapacitated. Tank wails on those held while I focus on those slept as I can keep them mezzed after breaking the sleep. We are still lowbies so things may change as more powers become available. Anyways, I plan to stay mostly at range. I am taking hover/fly as my travel power. As I talk it out I see that Stone mastery may not be the best since its powers are more melee oriented. perhaps Ice them with shiver and storm are more appropriate. Thoughts?
