Damage boost and the PE

[William Antrim]

Please can you give the PE back his old damage boost. This will go a long way to compensating for his lack of damage and make him a threat again. His use of PSI is what makes him stand out from the other gun-toting classes. We all know how much the PE sucks currently compared to the other classes but having the ability to "buff" people with a decent db at the start of a fight would even up the playing field considerably. I do not know how much the db affects the damage on the target currently but it could happily offset some of the lack of damage this class does quite considerably.

Even if damage boost only made the target 5% more susceptible to damage or increased the damage taken by the player you would give the PE back the bonus that he lost when he couldn't use woc guns. It would be a simple buff hopefully to give the pe that edge or at least that choice of pulling out his gun in an engagement or pulling out his DB from the start.

Psi needs to be a greater aspect of the PE. If it's redundant, then you might as well use a spy. Shields and other spells need to have a meaningful impact on a PE's performance if they are to ever truly compete on equal terms with the other classes.

Damage boost I think would work better (for the PE) if it had a self-cast ability, a bit like shields. Another option would be a tl~30 self-cast booster considerably more powerful than the normal boosters, or you could make the self-cast effects of the normal boosters more powerful.
