following:
- Disable
- Hold
- Repel/Pull
- Confuse
- Placate
- Flight Speed Debuffs
- Turn Rate Debuffs
Each point of Control Expertise provides both of the following:
- +0.5% Base Effectiveness for Outgoing Control
- +1% Resistance to Incoming Control
+60 Control Expertise
Total Skill Bonus = +60 Total Control Effectiveness Modifier = +30% Total Control Resistance Modifier = +60%
Overview
Control Expertise is a Lt.Commander Science skill that is available to all Lieutenant Commanders.
This skill increases the effectiveness of Control Effects that you use while increasing the resistance to effects. At maximum from the skill chain, you gain 30% effectiveness toward your control effects and 60% control resistance.
