dont worry i saw this on siege today...there alot of attacks that were changed from typed to untype whether it was supposed to happen or not it did and needs to be fixed
issue 15 was released to live with a bunch of unforseen bugs
That's the stun proc on their attack that you're seeing. You'll only see that after it succeeds in a tohit roll. I stood in front of a Champion Smasher on my WP Tank and recorded the following 50% chances:

Champion Smasher MISSES! Cybernetic Hammer power had a 50.00%% chance to hit, but rolled a 90.05.
Champion Smasher HITS you! Cybernetic Hammer power had a 10.03%% chance to hit and rolled a 4.18.

Likewise, Hammer Clap should only display the 50% chance to hit when it actually hits (but it suppresses the original roll, unlike Cybernetic Hammer).
(Note: The different tohit chances were me turning off Weave, CJ, then HS. He was missing too much for me to record the stun proc. :P)
Well those were examples. It doesn't only appear to be successful hits.
Champion Smasher MISSES! Cybernetic Hammer power had a 50.00%% chance to hit, but rolled a 55.20.
I looked back at the combat log and I don't see any damage being reported after the Champion Smasher hits me. It just appears to be the swipers that are rolling better than 6.33.
Like this:
Champion Swiper HITS you! Cybernetic Blades power had a 6.33%% chance to hit and rolled a 2.12.
Champion Swiper MISSES! Sawblade power had a 9.33%% chance to hit, but rolled a 88.26.
Shadow Maul is recharged.
Champion Swiper slashes you for 261.37 points of lethal damage!
Anyway thanks for the insight and explanation, it appears to mesh.

This.
I have melee defense softcapped, ranged defense very close to softcapped and AOE defense right now at around 38% on my dark/shield scrapper. I am not defense debuffed, this is while running a straightforward Freak farm in MA.
Checkout the following:
Champion Smasher HITS you! Cybernetic Hammer power had a 50.00%% chance to hit and rolled a 44.58.
Champion Smasher HITS you! Hammer Clap power had a 50.00%% chance to hit and rolled a 36.59.
Most times it shows a much lower and expected to hit number for the same exact attacks:
Champion Smasher MISSES! Hammer Clap power had a 11.29%% chance to hit, but rolled a 21.92.
Champion Smasher MISSES! Cybernetic Hammers power had a 6.33%% chance to hit, but rolled a 80.18.

I verified that my friend on his spines/invuln scrapper was seeing the same thing. He just didn't feel the pain as much since he has much higher resistence numbers.
