Electric Armor

Overview

Electric Armor is a standard power set that is a primary set for Tankers and a secondary set for Brutes, Scrappers, Sentinels, and Stalkers.

"Your entire body is basically a powerful capacitor. You can store and release massive amounts of electricity that can absorb damage directed at you. Electric Armor offers better than average resistance to just about all types of damage, including Psionic, but has no defense boosting powers or resistance to Toxic. Electric Armor also offers superior resistance to damage and Endurance Drain."

Powers

Charged Armor

When you toggle on this power, you are surrounded in a charged field that makes you highly resistant to Smashing, Lethal and Energy damage.

Recharge Fast Minimum Level 1 (Brute) 1 (Scrapper) 1 (Sentinel) 2 (Stalker) 1 (Tanker) Effects Toggle: Self +Resistance(Smashing, Lethal, Energy) Enhancements Reduce Endurance Cost Increase Attack Rate Enhance Damage Resistance Set Categories Resist Damage

Charged Shield

When you toggle on this power, you charge up every particle in your body increasing your regeneration rate and increasing your max endurance. This also results in an increase to your max Endurance and faster regeneration rate.

Recharge Moderate Minimum Level 2 (Sentinel) Effects Toggle: Self +Regeneration, +Max Endurance Enhancements Reduce Endurance Cost Increase Attack Rate Enhance Heal Enhance Endurance Modification Set Categories Healing/Absorb Endurance Modification

Conductive Shield

When you toggle on this power, you are surrounded in a Conductive Shield that will conduct many sorts of energy away from your body. Conductive Shield grants high resistance to Fire, Cold, and Energy damage, as well as good resistance to Negative Energy damage.

Recharge Fast Minimum Level 4 (Brute) 4 (Scrapper) 4 (Sentinel) 4 (Stalker) 2 (Tanker) Effects Toggle: Self +Resistance(Fire, Cold, Energy, Negative) Enhancements Reduce Endurance Cost Increase Attack Rate Enhance Damage Resistance Set Categories Resist Damage

Energize

You can channel a tremendous amount of electricity through your body for a short period of time. Doing so will heal some hit points, reduce the endurance cost of your powers and boost your regeneration for a short time.

Recharge Very Long Minimum Level 28 (Brute) 20 (Scrapper) 10 (Sentinel) 28 (Stalker) 12 (Tanker) Effects Self Endurance Discount, Heal, +Regeneration Enhancements Reduce Endurance Cost Enhance Heal Increase Attack Rate Set Categories Healing/Absorb

Grounded

You are Grounded and naturally very resistant to Energy and Negative Energy damage. You also have added resistance to Endurance Drain effects. Additionally, Grounded provides Immobilize and Knockback protection, but only applies when you are near the ground. This power is always on and costs no Endurance.

Minimum Level 16 (Brute) 16 (Scrapper) 20 (Sentinel) 16 (Stalker) 8 (Tanker) Effects Auto: Self +Resistance(Energy, Negative, Immobilize, Knockback, End Drain) Enhancements Enhance Damage Resistance Set Categories Resist Damage

Hide

Hide makes you almost impossible to detect. When properly 'Hidden', a Stalker can pull off Critical Hits with his attacks, and even land a massive 'Assassin's Strike' with an assassin's power. When you attack or are damaged while using this power, you will be discovered. Even if discovered, you are hard to see and retain some bonus to Defense. Unlike most Stealth powers, Hide can be used at the same time as other concealment powers, giving you even greater Stealth capability. No endurance cost.

Recharge Slow Minimum Level 1 (Stalker) Effects Toggle: Self Stealth, +Defense(Melee, Ranged, Area of Effect) Enhancements Enhance Defense Buffs Increase Attack Rate Set Categories Defense

Lightning Field

While active, you emit a storm of electricity that constantly damages all nearby foes.

Lightning Reflexes

Your Lightning Reflexes allow you to move faster than normal, as well as resist slow effects. This power is always on and permanently increases your attack rate and movement speed.

Note: The increase in movement speed includes flight speed.

Minimum Level 20 (Brute) 28 (Scrapper) 28 (Sentinel) 20 (Stalker) 18 (Tanker) Effects Auto: Self +Resistance(Slow), +Recharge, +Speed Enhancements Enhance Flight Speed Enhance Running Speed Set Categories None

Power Sink

Power Sink leeches energy directly from the bodies of all nearby foes, draining their Endurance. Each foe you draw energy from increases your Endurance. If there are no foes within range, you will not gain any Endurance.

Recharge Long Minimum Level 35 (Brute) 35 (Scrapper) 35 (Sentinel) 35 (Stalker) 26 (Tanker) Effects Point Blank Area of Effect Foe -Endurance Self +Endurance Enhancements Enhance Endurance Modification Reduce Endurance Cost Increase Attack Rate Enhance Taunt Effectiveness (Brute/Tanker only) Set Categories Endurance Modification Taunt (Brute/Tanker only)

Power Surge

When you activate this power, you transform your body into living Electricity and become extremely resistant to all damage but Psionics, as well as Disorient, Sleep, Hold, Immobilize, Knockback, End Drain, Recovery DeBuff, and enemy Teleportation. Your Endurance recovery is also increased. As Power Surge wears off, the charge in your body explodes in a massive EMP pulse. However, expending all this energy will leave you exhausted, and drained of almost all Health and Endurance.

Static Shield

You can create a field of Static Electricity around your body. This Static Shield protects you from Hold, Sleep, and Disorient effects as well as Endurance Drain, Recovery DeBuffs and enemy Teleportation. Static Shield can also help normalize your synaptic activity, granting you good resistance to Psionic Damage.

Recharge Fast Minimum Level 10 (Brute) 10 (Scrapper) 16 (Sentinel) 10 (Stalker) 6 (Tanker) Effects Toggle: Self +Resistance(Psionics, Disorient, Hold, Sleep, Teleport, End Drain, -Recovery) Enhancements Reduce Endurance Cost Increase Attack Rate Enhance Damage Resistance Set Categories Resist Damage
