I need help trying to figure out the differences in the types of damages on mids. When I take musculature core incarnate I get 45% dmg. I can see the bonus applied when I hover the curser over the attck power, but dont notice a change in the dmg meter under the misc buff tab.. now, When I choose "assault" as a power I notice a nice jump in the dmg meter under misc tab, but the numbers dont change over the specific power..(Hope I explained this correct). not sure if assault is effecting me directly or just teamates (says me also I think) little help please TY.

The Musculature damage increase is applied to individual powers in the same way as adding a Damage SO/IO to the power, which is why it can be partly reduced by ED depending on what's already slotted. The damage bonus shown on the misc buffs tab is the total of global damage bonuses only (e.g. set bonuses, damage buffing powers), which aren't affected by ED, and so Musculature bonuses won't show up there.

Conversely, when you hover the cursor over an attack power, you're looking at the damage slotting in that specific power (and any ED effects). This includes Musculature, because Musculature acts in the same way as adding an SO/IO to the power, but does not include any global bonuses.

ETA: if you look at the damage meter at the bottom of the power description info pane, that will show you the damage taking into account all bonuses, slotting, Incarnate powers etc.

One of the recent Mids releases (the first one with TW, I believe) was bugged, and wasn't applying Musculature properly, among other things. It's fixed in the latest version, though.
