Overview

Electric Armor is a standard power set that is a primary set for Tankers and a secondary set for Brutes, Scrappers, and Stalkers.

"Your entire body is basically a powerful capacitor. You can store and release massive amounts of electricity that can absorb damage directed at you. Electric Armor offers better than average resistance to just about all types of damage, including Psionic, but has no defense boosting powers or resistance to Toxic. Electric Armor also offers superior resistance to damage and Endurance Drain."

ElectricArmor SelfResistEnergies.png Grounded

You are Grounded and naturally very resistant to Energy and Negative Energy damage. You also have added resistance to Endurance Drain effects. Additionally, Grounded provides Immobilize and Knockback protection, but only applies when you are near the ground. This power is always on and costs no Endurance.

ElectricArmor 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 'Assassin's Strike' with an assassin's 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 Endurance recovery is also increased. As Power Surge wears off, the charge in your body explodes in a massive EMP pulse.
