Does power boost in the energy manipulation secondary increase hold protection from acrobatics?

[EnjoyTheJourney]

Recently put together a blaster build using the energy manipulation secondary. Mids showed that without power boost active acrobatics provides -2 hold protection. When power boost was activated hold protection in acrobatics went up to -3.57 in Mids. 

 

Is this a display error, or does power boost actually increase hold protection in acrobatics? 

 

Thank you in advance for any insights offered.

CoD doesn’t show the hold protection as being unaffected by enhancements and buffs so it should in theory be affected by Power Boost, but if it is it would only be affected for the duration of PB. I’ll have to check in game to see whether that’s actually true, since I know PB does affect mez protection powers like Clear Mind.

Thank you for your reply.

 

It seemed almost "too good to be true" because a high recharge build can make power boost essentially perma. But, -3.57 hold protection isn't that robust, so it may not be as powerful as I initially thought. 

 

Still helpful, though, and I'll keep acrobatics in the build.

Just double-checked ingame and PB does boost Acrobatics' hold protection for the roughly 15 seconds it's active.
