Same builds, different power placements... different numbers now?

[Marvel Fan]

Hey all. 

 

So, I'm scratching my head on this one and figured to ask you build Guru's about this. I dabble in build crafting, but I am no expert by any means. So... here's my issue.

 

I have two builds. The only difference between them is when I placed my powers. I did this so I could bring Taunt up earlier into the build. Same exact powers, same exact enhancements, but some of the numbers are vastly different in the end. My defenses remained pretty spot on, but the resistances vary now, terribly. I've lost like 26% resistance from my Smashing through my Negative.

 

Posting both builds for anyone to tear into if you would.

 

Thanks.

They're SR... so Dodge, Agile and Lucky have a built-in mechanic where your Damage resistance increases as your HP drops.
In Mids you have that slider in each of these three powers set to nearly halfway in Build #1 but set to nothing in Build #2.

Well.....  

 

Showed my noobness right there, eh?

 

Thank you! I hadn't a clue that was there.

Since I just learned there is a slider bar for certain things, I have another similar question to ask.

 

I've been comparing the damage output in the various Melee archtypes. As I look at things, every attack from a Stalker has more damage than a Tank/Brute or Scrapper. Is Mids showing this as damage coming out of stealth, and thus critical?

 

I guess, my main question here is... Brutes damage output. Is there some type of slider bar like above that adds Fury to the damage to show it? I'm looking and not finding anything I can recognize.

For Stalkers, make sure "Assassination" is toggled off, under Inherent Powers at the Bottom of the build. Do likewise for "Critical Hit" on Scrappers.


For Brutes, make sure 'Fury' is toggled ON and then click on it and set the slider to something sensible; typically 75-85.
