Power Boost?
is that a big boost? my only end mod power is stamina.
An endmod SO is 33.33%. An endmos IO at level 50 is 42.4%

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?

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.
@Roderick
Issue 20 brought us the Clarion Radial Destiny power, which can give up to a +80% special buff similarly to Power Boost. Though it cannot buff Power Boost, together with Power Boost you can reach ridiculous bursts of +Special (Vengeance giving +105% defense for example).

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