Powers

The following powers are in the Field Mastery powerset:

Energy Torrent

Energy Torrent unleashes a cone of powerful energy that can smash foes and possibly send them flying. You must be level 38 and have Power Blast or Temp Invulnerability before selecting this power.

You hurl a blast of charged energy that violently explodes on impact, damaging all foes near the target. Explosive Blast may also knock targets back. You must be level 41 and have Power Blast or Temp Invulnerability before selecting this power.

Force of Nature

Bug! Slotting Endurance Modification into Force of Nature currently has no effect on the power.

When you activate this power, you become highly resistant to all damage types except psionics. Your endurance recovery is also increased. Force of Nature costs little endurance to activate, but when it wears off you are left exhausted, and drained of almost all endurance, and unable to recover endurance for a short while. You must be level 44 and have two other Field Mastery Powers before selecting this power.
