Ok...im gonna ask..

What does it mean when i hear someone say a Defender does 0.65% modifier for damage?

What does that even mean?Could someone exsplain it to me like im a 5th Grader please?(Not a 5th Grader from "are you smarter then" show...those kids are frickin mutants!)

Does it mean like a % of the acctual whole number for the damage listed for the attack?

Lil help here?

All attacks in the game are rated on a scale value that equalizes them against their End cost and recharge time. So, for instance, Power Slice from Dual Blades has the exact same stats (for the most part) whether it is on a Tanker, Scrapper, Brute or Stalker. It will recharge in the same time, cost the same End, animate in the same time, and do the same "scale" amount of damage.

When the damage is applied to the foe, though, the AT's modifiers come into play. So a Tanker does less damage than a Scrapper because he has a 0.8 modifier and the Scrapper has a 1.125 modifier. The Tanker will do 0.8/1.125 = 71.11% of the damage the Scrapper will do with the exact same attack. This keeps the damage ratio between the ATs constant no matter what the differences in their attacks are. (And while the modifier could be considered a percent, like 65% for a Defender, that's only relevant compared TO something else. So a Defender does 0.65/1.125 = 57.78% the damage of a Blaster)

Here's a listing of the modifiers:

Blaster = 1.125 Ranged / 1.0 Melee
Scrapper = 1.125 Melee (the same for Ranged since their ranged attacks just count as Melee)
Tanker = 0.8 Melee (again same for Ranged)
Defender = 0.65 Ranged / 0.55 Melee
Controller = 0.55 Ranged and Melee (Containment really increases this, though)

Dominator = 1.05 Melee / 0.95 Ranged
Stalker = 1.0 Melee
Brute = 0.75 Melee (Fury can raise this higher than a Scrapper though)
Corruptor = 0.75 Ranged and Melee
Mastermind = 0.55 Ranged and Melee (they have so few attacks their damage is reduced even more - but their Henchmen deal damage independent of this)

Corruptors, Defenders, Controllers and Masterminds usually have some power in their Buff/Debuff set that allows them to increase damage. This can get a Corruptor's damage close to 0.9, or a Defender's to 0.85. Note that when you're talking about these base modifiers, though, any special powers the AT has to increase his damage usually isn't counted. This can make the gap between the damage dealers and the "weaker" classes smaller than it appears.

Blasters and Dominators also usually have special melee attacks that do more damage than the Scrapper/Tanker/Brute versions, but take longer to recharge. Doms can have slightly better/slower ranged attacks, as well. (Their Snipes, for instance, do about the same damage as a Blaster despite the 0.95/1.125 difference, but they recharge slower to compensate)

It's just a comparison of how much damage an AT does relative to the others.

Everything is relative to a Blaster at level 50.

So for ranged attacks in a power set like Energy Blast, which is shared by the two ATs, I know that with identical slotting and no buffs the Defender will to only 65% of the damage of a blaster.

Every power in the game will do a set amount of damage across all ATs. X-ray beam eyes does x dmg, Cosmic Burst does y.

Every AT has a modifier that those attacks are multiplied by. Defenders have .65 and blasters have 1.125.

To figure out how much dmg the attack will actually do, you multiply the AT modifier by the attack's scale dmg.

Defender:
x * .65 = x-ray beam eyes
y * .65 = cosmic burst

Blaster:
x * 1.125 = x-ray beam eyes
y * 1.125 = cosmic burst
