Encounter

powers serve as the main attacks for each class. They are generally used in situations that require more than a basic attack. Encounter powers usually have longer cooldowns often ranging from 7 to 20 seconds. Cooldown time can be decreased by stating into Recovery, by certain pieces of equipment, and by some Rank 4 power features. These powers often provide more effects than At-Will powers; such as stuns, roots, snares, and prones.
