Don´t let them tell you something about 30% effectiveness. It´s total garbage. Read this if you want to know the real numbers.
If it has eyes, you can blind it, if it has blood, you can make it bleed, if it has a mouth, you can make it scream.
Thats incorrect, its 75% I think, Could be 80.
And even that is incorrect. Each AT has different effectiveness %s for different power types. For example a Controller TAs Ice Arrow is better than a defenders as Controllers are better at control powers. But for buffs / debuffs they are worse.
For Fortitude its a buff, so around 75% of 30%
Which is (30 / 100 * 75) = 22.5.
30% of 30% is 9%, as an aside. Just always divide by 100 and multiply by the percent.
Actually, in the case of Fortitude it´s 80% of defender´s values for ToHit and Damage and 75% for defense.
Which results in a buff of 24% Damage and ToHit and 22.5% defense.

Aye, I was more or less guessing it. Knew it was between 75 & 80.
Great link by the way. Was going mad trying to find that info
Are you Karol Vorderman in real life?
If I say yes you're just going to be lewd at me aren't you. There'll probably be a bewbies comment thrown in too 
So nope. Just bog standard computer nerd.
I reckon Dr Rock is Vorderman though. Khainestar and Unthing are my other suspects. It's all a bit like Scooby Doo really.
Have you seen Dr Rocks spreadsheets? I bet he's a master at anagrams as well.
Deffo Dr Rock is Karol Vorderman (or the Rain Man). "458. The answers 458!"

Nutters! 
And I would've gotten away with it if it werent for you meddling kids....
@Unthing ... Mostly on Union.
All the Karol Vorderman wannabes are coming out of the wood work now I see! Just because theres a percentage in the OP.
It is a sad and strange fact that if everyone who posted on the "Tank" section of the board put their minds to it they probably would have found a cure for the common cold by now.
Instead they argue the importance of "Tanks without Taunt".

I feel a cure for the common cold, may be as elusive as the concept of balance is for the Devs. Taunt on the other hand...........

Damn you Vorderman. I'll get you next time!!
On Topic (yeah I know. Gotta be done) does anyone have the link to the %s for other ATs. So the %s a Mastermind has compared to a Defender, and a corrupter?
I'm really surprised a Controller has 88% of a Defenders heal effectiveness. Seems way too high to me.

First page is good for healing etc, try page 5 for AT equivalents.
I was reading up on the thing about controller secondaries having 30% effecctiveness/power of the 'original' defender primaries, and was curious how much of a cut down it is.
A defender's Fortitude gives about 30% defense/damage/accuracy, so how much a controller's 30% of 30% give?
The same applying to /sonic shields for example, where a sonic's shield would grant around 30% resistance if granted by a defender, then how much by a controller?
