nickowow Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 So I was recently told that boosts to secondary effects are supposed to boost defense, and I noticed that in the "detailed information" section of Adrenal Boost from the new Experimental pool, it notes a boost to defense. However, despite having a defense toggle that would theoretically be buffed, when I pop Adrenal Boost my defense doesn't budge. Is this a bug and I'm supposed to be getting defense? Or is there a typo in the description and it's not supposed to boost defense anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigress Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Question is: What kind of defensive toggle is it? If it also gives you some kind of damage resistance (Psionic for instance), the power will not be affected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickowow Posted April 10, 2020 Author Share Posted April 10, 2020 It's a defense toggle, Environmental Modification. Gives defense to pretty much everything but S/L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trickshooter Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Adrenal Boost only buffs the "Base Defense" attribute, which is only used by Defense Debuffs and Defense Debuff Resistance (and technically PFF). This is intentional.
