The features discussed here may be implemented in future issues and are subject to change before release.

Overview

Bio Armor is a primary Power Set for Tankers and a secondary Power Set for Brutes, Scrappers and Stalkers.

Your body is shielded by an incredibly durable Bio Armor that evolves based upon your environment. You are also able to siphon genetic data from your foes to empower yourself and well as shift from a Defensive, Offensive and Balanced form. Bio Armor provides good damage resistance and defense, a fair amount of regeneration and a good number of offensive/debuff power options.

The following powers are in the Bio Armor Power Set.

BioOrganicArmor AblativeCarapace.png Ablative Carapace

When needed, you're able to cause your Bio Armor to gain a thick, but brittle outer layer that will absorb a large amount of damage before breaking off. Ablative Carapace will grant a moderate amount of damage absorption and a high amount of regeneration for a short time.

By purchasing this power you gain access to two mutually exclusive toggle powers: Defensive Adaptation and Offensive Adaptation. While both of these powers are inactive Hardened Carapace, Evolving Armor and Inexhaustible gain a regeneration bonus, while Environmental Modification and Evolving Armor gain a Recovery bonus. If Defensive Adaptation is active you gain improved damage resistance from Hardened Carapace and Evolving Armor, additional defense from Environmental Modification and Evolving Armor, and increased Maximum HP from Environmental Modification and Inexhaustible. If Offensive Adaptation is active you gain bonus damage from Hardened Carapace, additional To Hit from Environmental Modification, bonus recharge from Evolving Armor, and your debuff effects from DNA Siphon, Genetic Contamination and Parasitic Aura are increased.

Adaptation Types

BioOrganicArmor DefensiveAdaptation.png Defensive Adaptation Bio Armor Defensive Mode
By activating this power you cause your Bio Armor to spontaneously mutate, causing it to become dense and durable. While active Hardened Carapace grants additional resistance to Lethal, Smashing and Toxic damage, Inexhaustible grants additional Maximum HP, Environmental Modification grants additional defense and also grants a small amount of Maximum HP, and Evolving Armor grants additional resistance and a small amount of defense per nearby target. Defensive Adaptation costs no endurance.
BioOrganicArmor OffensiveAdaptation.png Offensive Adaptation Bio Armor Offensive Mode
By activating this power you cause your Bio Armor to spontaneously mutate, causing it to sprout spines and become much lighter. While active Hardened Carapace increases your damage slightly, Inexhaustible grants you a small recharge bonus, Environmental Modification grants you a moderate to hit buff, Evolving Armor grants you a small recharge bonus per nearby target, and debuff effects from DNA Siphon, and Genetic Contamination and Parasitic Aura are increased moderately.

BioOrganicArmor Inexhaustible.png Boundless Energy

Your body constantly evolves and addresses weaknesses. As a result you receive a moderate bonus to maximum hit points, regeneration, recovery, increased endurance, as well as gaining a measure of Slow and Endurance Drain Resistance. While no Adaptations are active, this power grants a moderate bonus to Regeneration and Recovery. While Defensive Adaptation is active you gain a small amount of additional max maximum hit points. If Offensive Adaptation is active you'll gain a recharge bonus. These special bonuses are unenhanceable. Boundless Energy is always active.

BioOrganicArmor DNASiphon.png DNA Siphon

You can siphon genetic material from nearby enemies, causing a minor amount of Lethal damage and a minor amount of Toxic damage over time. Enemies who have remaining health will provide the user with a small boost to health and endurance. These foes will have their regeneration rate reduced for a short period of time. Defeated enemies provide a weaker sample of material and thus will boost recovery and regeneration for a short while. While Offensive Adaptation is active this power's regeneration debuff is increased in effectiveness.

While active you gain moderate defense to Fire, Cold, Energy and Negative Energy damage, and a small amount of defense to Psionic damage. Additionally you are protected against hold, knockdown and immobilize effects. While no Adaptations are active, this power grants a moderate bonus to Recovery.

BioOrganicArmor Hide.png Hide

Hide makes you almost impossible to detect. When properly 'Hidden", a Stalker can pull off Critical hits with his attacks, and even land a massive 'Assassins Strike' with an Assassins power. When you attack or are damaged while using this power, you will be discovered. Even if discovered, you are hard to see and retain some bonus to Defense. Unlike most stealth powers, Hide can be used at the same time as other Concealment powers, giving you even greater stealth capability. No Endurance cost.

Your body is constantly evolving and adapting based on your surroundings. As a result you receive a moderate bonus to maximum hit points, regeneration, recovery, increased endurance, as well as gaining a measure of Slow and Endurance Drain Resistance. While no Adaptations are active, this power grants a moderate bonus to Regeneration and Recovery. While Defensive Adaptation is active you gain a small amount of additional max maximum hit points. If Offensive Adaptation is active you'll gain a recharge bonus. These special bonuses are unenhanceable. Inexhaustible is always active.

BioOrganicArmor ParasiticAura.png Parasitic Aura

You release a cloud of parasites around you that draw out your enemies' genetic material. These parasites dramatically increase your survivability by gaining damage absorption while boosting your regeneration and recovery rate for a short time. Affected foes will be infected reducing their damage, chance to hit, speed and recharge time for a short while. While Offensive Adaptation is active this power's damage debuff is increased in effectiveness.
