Mids vs Combat Attributes = /em headscratch

I've just respecced my TW/Inv scrapper into a build that I'd worked out in Mids.

What is really puzzling me now is this: According to Mids in most defence categories a single purple should put him at the soft cap or very close to. Smashing and Lethal Defence are already at the soft cap (44% to be exact.) Resistance is mostly around the 20% mark except for Smashing & Lethal - both of which are a gnats tadger over 60%.

There's a discrepancy: What Mids tells me and what the game itself tells me is very different.

Most of my def values is a good 7-12% below what Mids tells me - according to the Combat Attributes window.

What am I missing - or is this a bug?

Have you double checked that the "Foes in Range" of Invincibility is set to 1 on Mids and not to 10?

There's a tier 1 or 2 TW attack that adds about 7% defence, and Invincibility needs bodies close to boost the defences. If it's clicked as active in Mids, it may explain the large difference.

Check the values from Combat Attributes while fighting 3, and then 6 enemies. Grey con will do, they count the same, and you can focus on stats. They are likely to be much closer to Mids forecast.

EU, Union mostly.

Also you haven't got a Incarnate power toggled on which you haven't achieved yet (e.g. a high tear Agility Alpha)

Remember also that Invincibility gives no bonus at all unless enemies are in range. If you're checking your attributes while standing around out of combat, you will indeed appear to be missing a good chunk of defense, but it should show up again when you're fighting something.

Are you counting the +DEF from Defensive Sweep?

Last I checked there was a known Mids bug causing it to use incorrect AT modifiers for Titan Weapons in some cases, though I don't remember if that would make it show more or less +DEF than it should for a scrapper.

Edit: Also, posting the build in question would be helpful in figuring out what the issue is.

Ah HA!!! Thanks chaps.

It seems that it was my incomplete comprehension of Invincibility that was the issue... crowd a few bodies around and robert is your father's brother so to speak.

Many thnkas for the help

(PS no hadn't factored in Defensive Sweep into that - that's not an issue I think.)
