Conserve Power

You can focus for a moment to conserve your endurance. After activating this power, you expend less endurance on all other powers for a while.

Energy Torrent

Energy Torrent unleashes a cone of powerful energy that can smash foes and possibly knock them down.

Energy Transfer

Mastery of Energy Melee begins with the ability to transfer your own hit points into a punch that deals extreme Smashing and Energy damage. Energy Transfer has a good chance of Disorienting the target.

Stalker: Unlike other Stalker primary attack powers, Energy Transfer cannot land a critical hit. However, if this attack is executed successfully while Hidden, you can avoid the hit point loss to yourself and deal a massive blow with no penalty.

You hurl a blast of charged energy that violently explodes on impact, damaging all foes near the target. Explosive Blast may also knock targets back.

Power Blast

A much more powerful, yet slower version of Power Bolt. Power Blast sends a focused beam of energy at a foe that can knock him back.

Damage Moderate (Energy/Smashing) Recharge Moderate Minimum Level 41 (Controller) Effects Ranged Foe Knockback Enhancements Enhance Accuracy Enhance Damage Reduce Endurance Cost Enhance Knockback Distance Enhance Range Increase Attack Rate Set Categories Ranged Damage Knockback

Power Boost

Greatly boosts the secondary effects of your powers. Your powers effects like disorients, holds, immobilizes, heals, defense buffs, endurance drains, knockbacks and more, are all improved. The effects of Power Boost last a short while, and only the next couple of attacks will be boosted. You must be level 47 and have two other Primal Forces Mastery Powers before selecting this power.

Note: This power improves the strength of your Heals, Endurance drains and gifts, Runspeed powers, Flight powers, Defense buffs and debuffs, and ToHit buffs and debuffs, as well as the duration of your Sleep, Hold, Disorient, Immobilize, Fear, and Confuse status effects. It does not increase the strength of your Knockback effects. That part of the power description is outdated.

Temp Invulnerability

When you toggle on this power, you become highly resistant to smashing and lethal damage. You must be level 44 and have Power Blast or Conserve Power before selecting this power.
