Powers

Bone Smasher

This melee attack can be slow, but it compensates by dealing a good amount of damage and having a good chance to Disorient the target. If used against a Disoriented foe, there is a small chance to enter Energy Focus mode. This power will weaken the target's secondary effects if used while in Energy Focus mode.

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 them back. If used against a Disoriented foe, there is a small chance to enter Energy Focus mode.

Power Up

Boosts the damage and 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 Up last a short while, and only the next couple of attacks will be boosted.

Editor's 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 That part of the power description is outdated.

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. If you are engaged in battle this attack becomes instant-cast. If you are not engaged, it will do bonus damage. If used against a Disoriented foe, there is a small chance to enter Energy Focus mode.

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. This power will enter Energy Focus mode.

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. This power will recharge instantly if used while in Energy Focus mode.
