Power Boost?

It's like slotting endurance modification enhancements: recovery buffs and debuffs will both be affected.

PB affects endurance drain/gain, not recovery buffs/debuffs

Same as it affects heals, but not regen buffs/debuffs.

So perhaps I can get a little help with what this means to me? I am playing a Dual Pistols/ Energy Blaster. What powers do i have that witll be boosted and in what way?

I am taking Weave. Will the Defense buff be boosted?

And, Tough won't? (why?)

Will the run speed debuff of my Cryo ammunition increase even if the -recharge doesn't? And, will it last longer or slow more?

Knockback.... knocking back further or more often?

Anything else?

please?

Yes, you will get an extra 2.8% defense from Weave for the duration of Power Boost.

Tough can slot resistance enhancements so it will not be affected. Also, Power Boost doesn't boost Resistance.

The only thing that can change is the strength of the movement speed debuff, however I'm not sure if Power Boost affects it as there is no "slow" component, only a run speed/fly speed one.

Knocking back further. The chance of knockback can't change.

The duration of your Stun/Hold power (suppressive fire) will improve, making it easier to stack its magnitude in order to Stun/Hold tougher enemies(Bosses, EB's).

Your defense debuffs will improve, though that's negligible.

Power Boost doesn't affect knockback anymore. Hasn't in years--the power description was just not updated.

Good to know, I thought something was up when the description had it and the real numbers didn't show anything KB related.

As a DP/Energy blaster, the main benefit of Power Boost will come from extending the length of your stun effects from your melee attacks and Suppressive Fire, along with boosting many other power pool goodies. Medicine pool heals will heal for more HP, defense buffs (Combat Jumping, Maneuvers, Weave) will give a bit more defense, Vengeance goes from really nice to mindblowingly good, etc. Tough will NOT be affected, because resistance buffs are never affected by power boost.

On the DP front, your cryo rounds would probably pack a stronger (though not longer) movespeed debuff, although the -recharge would not improve. The other three ammo types would be unaffected, since KB was made unaffected by power boost a year or two ago, and -damage is never affected by power boost for the same reason that +resist is not.


Rule number six of an empathy defender is NEVER underestimate a blaster's ability to die. I don't care if he has CM, Fort, both RAs, bubbles (both FF and Sonic), and is fighting next to a Storm defender with hurricane on. If there is a way to die in that situation, the blaster will find it.

Neither. All +Knockback effects were remover from Power Boost, Power Build Up, and the Accolades with similar effects. If there is still mention of KB in the descriptions of any of these powers, it is in error.

So I presume Clarion Radial Destiny would also not affect Benumb?

That would be my assumption as well, especially since Power Boost doesn't work on it.
