Powers

The following are powers in the Energy Assault powerset.

Bone Smasher

This melee attack can be slow, but it compensates by dealing a good amount of damage and having a better chance to disorient than Energy Punch.

Damage High (Energy/Smashing) Recharge Moderate Minimum Level 2 (Dominator) Effects Melee Foe Disorient Enhancements Enhance Accuracy Enhance Damage Reduce Endurance Cost Increase Attack Rate Enhance Disorient Duration Set Categories Melee Damage Stuns

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.

Power Bolt

A quick attack that rapidly hurls small bolts of energy at foes, sometimes knocking them down. Fast, but little damage.

Damage Minor (Energy/Smashing) Recharge Fast Minimum Level 1 (Dominator) 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 heals, defense buffs, endurance drains, disorients, holds, immobilizes, 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.

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 That part of the power description is outdated.

Power Burst

A short range, but devastating attack.

Damage High (Energy/Smashing) Recharge Slow Minimum Level 38 (Dominator) Effects Close Foe Knockback Enhancements Enhance Accuracy Enhance Damage Reduce Endurance Cost Enhance Knockback Distance Enhance Range Increase Attack Rate Set Categories Ranged Damage Knockback

Sniper Blast

A focused blast that can travel great distances with high accuracy. This is a sniper attack, and is best fired from a distance, as it can be interrupted.

Total Focus

Total Focus is complete mastery over Energy Melee. This melee attack is a very slow, but incredibly devastating attack that can knock out most opponents, leaving them disoriented. Due to the exhausting nature of Total Focus, recharge time is very long.

Whirling Hands

By focusing your energy into the muscles in your arms, you can launch a dizzying flurry of attacks against every foe in melee range. Some foes may be hit hard enough to be disoriented as well.
