CITY OF HEROES
Powers
* Scrapper
o Scrapper version of Heightened Senses' Help text now matches
the
Help text of the other versions of the power.
* Blasters
o Defiance Improved:
+ Blasters' earliest abilities come so naturally to them,
that they are accessible even in states that normally prevent them from
using powers, such as being Held, Slept or Stunned.
+ Additionally, each time the Blaster attacks with a
primary
or secondary power, they gain a stacking damage bonus for the next several
seconds. The amount of the damage bonus and its duration is dependent on
the
exact power used, with single target abilities generally giving the
largest
bonus.
o Voltaic Sentinel now has a duration of 60 seconds for
Blasters,
and it should fly considerably faster.
o 12.5 percent increase to Base Ranged Damage.
* Defenders
o Voltaic Sentinel should fly considerably faster for Defenders
with Electric Blast.
