How does the tanker Arc buff work?

[DoctorBorris]

I've read on here a couple times about a tank arc buff. How exactly does it work? What powers does it effect and is it listed anywhere?

It affects any aoes. I believe it is an actual buff,so won't affect psuedopet powers like shield charge.

I always assumed this to be the case but I tested it on my shield tanker and it's 30 ft.  So it does get the boost.  Not sure about other pseudopets

That's great! I am happy to be wrong if this is the case. I wonder if this holds true for every psuedopet aoe.

Tanker&Brute changes right toward the top has a nice breakdown.

Are the changed numbers updated in the powers tooltip in-game? A couple ones like Shadow Maul still seem to be 120 but I've heard they're 180 on a tanker.

 

What makes it worse is the notes seem to imply some powers just got a number of targets buff and not arc, which is... not so good?

The buff doesn't display in the power tooltips because it's applied as a buff from the Inherent. so Shadow Maul says 120, but then get's a 50% arc buff to be 180 in game. Slice says 90 and ends up 135 etc.
