Overview

Electrical Blast is a standard power set that is a primary set for Blasters, Corruptors and Sentinels, and a secondary set for Defenders.

"Electrical Blast endows you with ranged electrical attack powers. Electrical powers can drain foes' Endurance and can often temporarily halt their Endurance recovery. This can be quite effective against higher level foes and Bosses. Some Electrical Blast powers can even sometimes transfer this endurance back to you."
