Ability Ranks

User Rank	CD	Ability Effects
Rank I: Lieutenant (100% Aux Power)	1 min	Reflects 7.5% incoming energy damage back to the target (50% shield penetration) for 15 sec Cannot Reflect more than 50% of incoming damage Cannot Critically Hit
Rank II: Lieutenant Commander (100% Aux Power)	1 min	Reflects 11.25% incoming energy damage back to the target (50% shield penetration) for 15 sec Cannot Reflect more than 75% of incoming damage Cannot Critically Hit
Rank III: Commander (100% Aux Power)	1 min	Reflects 15% incoming energy damage back to the target (50% shield penetration) for 15 sec Cannot Reflect more than 100% of incoming damage Cannot Critically Hit

• Above values are represented at 100 Aux and 0 EPG skill points.

Notes

• Of the damage that is reflected back, 50% of it is directed to the attacker's shields, and the rest to hull. If the attacker's shield facing is down, all the damage becomes direct hull damage.
• As of July 6th Patch notes, Feedback Pulse no longer deals "Feedback Pulse" typed damage. Instead it will deal damage as the same type that was inflicted upon the caster of Feedback Pulse.
• As of April 25th Patch notes Feedback Pulse no longer crits, cannot be buffed, and is capped at 50%, 75% and 100% maximum reflection respectively.
