Thread: Power Boost Not Helping
But yes it is a nice ability
Before I comment on the original poster I'd like to say how appreciative I am of bitter posters from other boards coming over here and being productive. Oh wait... That's not what's happening. We just get messages like "Shut up, you god-class playing #$%^*$ #$%^&*(!", which btw is annoying and rude.
That being said, I have to disagree with the original poster here. PowerBoost is nice enough - It wasn't meant to replace a doctor's buffs by any means, and it doesn't. It provides us enough of a bonus that some of us front-line melee types have the audacity to engage without wearing armor, and it provides us a small zone of comfort while soloing or up against a tougher mob than we'd otherwise be able to take on. Why isn't that enough?

apparantly you don't remember what the forum was like when the new FoW changes were announced. the frontpage was consistently filled with ''omg FoW nerfed! now it's COMPLETELY SUZXXOR!!!!!!!11'' and ''who will use FoW if it suxxxxx so bad??''
i was not stating that in reality noone uses it. i was making a prediction based on the previous displays of immaturity that this forum has produced. also, if your sarcasm senses weren't tingling when reading it, i made the extra effort to put it in * * for it to stand out to you. sadly, the sense of humor is even less common of a sense than common sense...
if you are going to criticize me (or anyone, for that matter), you better be darn sure you know what you are talking about. otherwise it's just a waste of my time, and you make yourself look like a fool to boot.

I was definitely looking forward to power boost. But when i got it, i ate food, muon gold, and made my mind 2154, when it was originally 1000. So i thought, this should raise my healtha nd action 1000 points ! NO! NOT TRUE! It will only raise your original mind status. Which for me is 1000. So i have 900/900/1000. So i powerboost and i only get 1400/1400/1500. This is NOT enough to "tank"
As you have not reached MTA yet the duration on powerboost may be low.
But as for usefulness, it is probably a life saver. I have actually started to use powerboost instead of my doc buffs. Sure its not as high as a doc buff and does not buff secondary stats but still it helps a lot and it buffs the mind pool as well.
If you want to 'tank' against a very high ham, armoured target then go get doc and entertainer buffs. For normal fighting TKA buff is more than enough, If you have not killed something in the time the buff lasts, it was probably way to hard for you to solo in the first place.
Using just TKA buff, I have taken on 2 groups of pirates on nym (total of 12 NPCs) at once andeven multipledroidekas. I survived fine. Those extra 500 points on health action and mind make a big difference.
For mind I carry fishak and muon gold, if I need it during combat I use them. Also carry stimpacks if I need to use them. So can powerboost, use the fishak and run into battle while powerboost is still buffing.
Having personally done all of TKA, without the additional damage, with powerboost and FoW not working, and no doc buffs and no pets. Powerboost is one of the most usefull skills to have available for you to use.
you have not been here long eh?
i remember when i FIRST GOT POWERBOOST wanna know what it did?
300 mind wounds
+ 1/2 your mind for-thats right- TEN SECONDS
if you can complain about this go take a nap and smell your blanket this was one of the things thunderherat did before he left (dissappered?)
