Possible bug with Bio Armor - Evolving Armor

[WumpusRat]

The power Evolving Armor for the Bio Armor set states that it gives a small amount of resistance to everything regardless of which adaptation you have running. Then provides additional resistance if you go into defensive adaptation.

 

However, it's not providing any resistance at all, even in defensive adaptation. 

 

Tested it on a brute and tanker, same results.

Here's the COD link for Tanker Bio Evolving Armor.

Looking it over it should provide 5.5% res for S/L/T,  4.13% res for F/C/E/N, and 3.3% res for P.

 

Under defensive adaptation that resistance gets an additional increase of: 1.65% res for S/L/T, 1.239% res for F/C/E/N, and 0.99% res for P.

 

For Bio it appears the same but lower values for AT modifiers.

 

What kind of testing environment are you observing this in? Are you in a base? PvP zone? Under some source of debuff? What kind of slotting do you have in the power? Do you see resistance boosts when the power is unslotted?

Do you have no buff, even when standing by enemies?

I figured it out. It only  kicks in when you're in combat. I had just finished redoing my build after hitting 50 and was wondering why my resists were about 4% lower across the board than what mids was predicting. After going and poking a mob in PI the resists bumped up to where they should have been, so that was the problem. Error on my part. 🙂

If this isn't a bug, then the power description needs to be fixed. As written, it implies that the base amount is granted with no foes in range. This is not the case.

 

 When faced with danger, your Bio Armor reacts by becoming incredibly durable as well as infecting nearby enemies, lowering their resistance to damage. While active, Evolving Armor will grant you small amount of damage resistance, plus an additional amount for each nearby target. Nearby foes will also be taunted and have their damage resistance reduced. While Efficient Adaptation is active, this power grants a moderate bonus to Regeneration and Recovery plus a tiny amount of both for each nearby foe up to 10 foes. While Defensive Adaptation is active you gain a very minor amount of defense and damage resistance for each nearby foe, however you lose the benefit of this power's resistance debuff. If Offensive Adaptation is active this power's damage resistance debuff is increased. These special bonuses are unenhanceable.
