Earth (Power)

Crush and Smash your foes or Protect your allies with the power of the Earth. Specializing in Tanking abilities, Earth is a Power Set that is included in The Battle for Earth DLC, released March 13th, 2012. Earth is the game's ninth power.

Geokinesis

Geokinesis powers center on shaping earth into pets and weapons to both hurt enemies and shield allies.

Specializing in this tree grants +1% Critical Attack Chance and +35 Health.

Tank Role : In the Tank role Dominance is increased by 100%. Using super powers increases Defense and Toughness by 1 per point of Dominance plus you gain 25% Damage Absorption. You will also attract the attention of enemies causing them to attack you, rather than allies. Finally you gain +3 Perception, improving your chances of detecting Stealth using enemies.

Player versus Player: While in the Tank role you have a special advantage versus Gadgets, Mental, Light and Quantum power users. You are immune to their debuffing effects and highly resistant to their controls. Some abilities provide you and allies total immunity to Controller effects.
Your harmful super powers remove beneficial Controller effects such as power over time and reduces their ability to restore power to allies in Controller role. Using harmful super powers against them inspires Confidence within you, briefly increasing your damage output to 135%.
