Overview

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

"You can control the forces of the Earth. You can manipulate earth and stone to defeat your foes. The crushing force of many Earth Powers can reduce a target's Defense. Being of the Earth, you are the most powerful while on the ground. While grounded, your attacks increase Seismic Pressure. As your Seismic Pressure increases, your chances of triggering Seismic Shockwaves at your location also increase. While standing on your Seismic Shockwaves you will also be protected against knockback, repel and teleport, making it hard for enemies to move you. These Seismic Shockwave will have chance of knocking back foes and, while standing on them, empower some of your attacks. Rock Shards will have its area and target cap increased. Seismic Force will heal and grant temporarily increase your maximum HP. Stalagmite will deal a large amount of damage."
