Invincibility...is it broken, or is it just me ?

Ok, I am a little confused....the power Invincibility says "offers +Def to all but Psionics..." but when I read at the Combat Attributes menu, it does not show where that power is adding any Def to my toon.....Combat Jumping offers +Def, and when I toggle it off/on, I can see the Attributes changing to reflect the added Def from the power, but it does not show added Def from Invincibility. Am I reading the Attribute page incorrectly ? Do I have a bug ? or does Invincibility no longer offer +Def anymore ?

Invincibility offers scaling defense based on the number of enemies in its radius, similar to the regen from Willpower's RttC.

This. You need to have enemies in range to see any +Def increase.

To be specific, Invincibility offers 1% def per target plus a 5% bonus for the first target (unslotted). So you'd get 0% for 0 mobs, 6% for 1, 7% for 2, 8% for 3, 9% for 4, etc. (Multiply those by 1.56 to emulate ED soft capped slotting.)

[edit: Oh, and the def numbers twitching is normal]

Click on Powers
Click on Attributes
Open up the Defense section.
Right-click on one of your defenses (usually recommend Smashing or Lethal) and choose to monitor it.
Move the little monitor that pops up someplace convenient.
Then go jump into a mob of enemies and aggro them.
Watch your defense climb at that point.

Thank you all, when mobs are near, I can see the +Def taking effect....I knew there was something about it that was confusing me.

2,000,000,000 inf cap.

(It may be possible, but it would require about 68 2b inf transactions, and just about as many free WW/BM slots to store it.)
