Yellows / Aim make you miss with your next attack because it has to recalibrate the rng.
Granite decreases accuracy.
You can't attack with superior invis.
Targeted heals and debuffs decrease XP if you're not on the persons team.
Confuse decreases your XP over time.
Thats all I can think of off the top of my head

Oh I know this one isn't true, but it sure feels like it in my experience...
A very old one, but I have heard it nonetheless: forcefields decrease the shielded player's accuracy. I think that might have been true in beta 2004

The clear solution is to not let Power eat anything ever.
Not so much a Power Myth as an Archetype Myth: "Blasters can't solo!" Really? Because I seem to have soloed one to Level 44. How did that happen?

NPCs don't get autohit attacks.
Be well, people of CoH.
Ummm a couple of these so-called myths there is some truth to them lol.
Confuse can diminish xp if a confused foe kills another foe.
Although tanks can still hold agro, they are not seen as quickly because they are stealth/invis buffed.
I find it better to charge n taunt with my tank in the middle but it does help when they can see you 1st lol
Anyways sometimes there is a glimmer of truth to a myth and some of these hold true here especially the "dont get them wet after midnight"
LOL thats funny
Buh Bye

For a single mob, yes, EXP can be reduced. Over time, however, the damage contributed by a confused foe means you're killing the mobs more quickly; and the EXP curve remains unchanged. Also, the amount of exp lost by a "minor" damage contribution by a source not on the same team as you is very, very minimal.
I've played a mind/psi dominator to 50. Here's another myth for you:
Very few things resist psi.

Also, I have heard that Accelerate Matabolism increases regen.
Siphon Speed increases recovery. (this almost had my Ice/Kin w/o stamina glad I found out the truth)
I don't know if this would apply here, but I remember when someone told me that Immo, stuns, and holds stack with each other. I.E. an Immo and Hold would make a mag 6 hold
Oh yeah, and Blasters with only Cloaking Device can't be seen by any foes (true with Smoke Grenade)

Of course, neither can Defenders or Tankers.... 
I mostly soloed my blaster to about the same level before getting on a string of AV teams. I would have taken her all the way to 50 without them as a soloer.
My favorite is still making people turn off Steamy Mist et al because the Rikti Heavies won't spawn if characters are stealthed in any way, even after Dark Watcher specifically said that wasn't true.

This one actually (in my experience at least) has a sliver of truth to it. I played a controller before Overpower was introduced and when I hit a boss with Mezmerize and Dominate back to back they would be affected by whichever I used second (the sleep seemed more reliable this way)
I don't, however, know if that was supposed to happen, or if there was a bug that was causing any mez to stack with any other mez.

ok, so today i'm playing my Cold Domination corrupter, using my shields to buff my team as you do.
Conversation
brute "Stop shielding me"
Me "Any reason in particular"
Brute "Cold Shields slow down your recharge rate"
Me "ummmm... I assure you they don't"
I hear stuff like this on occasion and wonder where it comes from?
Anyone else have classic stories about being told how a power works, when you know that's complete rubbish?
