Reactive Defense. Scaling Resists IO.    What does it actually do?     I'm constantly looking for ways to tweak/maximize my Masterminds survivability.   However I have no idea how this IO actually works.    Can someone explain its mechanics to me?

It starts off at giving 3% resists all the time to everything so right there it is handy.  After you start taking damage it adds more resistance up to +10% when you are very low on health.  Not sure if the scaling cap is on top of the 3% or included.  The way it reads it sounds like the bonus starts at 0 and scales to 10 so it is possible that you go anywhere from 3% to 13% depending on your health.  But even if it is just 3 - 10% it is still pretty decent to have.

As posted by Jacknomind in a thread I started...

 

Reactive Defense IO

3 + (7 * ((100-hp%)/100))

 

In other words, as noted above, it starts at 3% and scales towards 10% as your HP near zero.
