Power Boosted Combat Shield

I'd asked this in the Blaster forums a while back, and have now had the chance to test it myself.

Power boost DOES affect the defence bonus from the Day Job Combat Shield. (But not the Kinetic Dampener temp power, because that grants energy resistance.)

For a Blaster, the Shield give +14% Defrence against Smashing/Lethal and Energy. For the duration of Power Boost it's around +24%

For a Dominator, you'd jump from +17% to +34% or so.

Its not a game breaker by any means. To get this power, you need to spend 21 days logged off in a PVP zone, and 21 days logged off in an arena, and can then earn up to 30 minutes per week usage by logging off in arenas all the time. Believe me, this is a pain.

And the boosted defence lasts only 15 seconds at a time.

But, I imagine it will be a very handy tool for both Blasters and Dominators when faced with multiple spawns solo that cant be locked down immediately, or for soloing certain EBs.
