I managed to unlock Hybrid this weekend and crafted up a "Support Core Embodiment" for it.

Checking the in-game detail info for [Power:Support Core Embodiment] showed that it is supposed to give +12% strength to all types of damage. When I activate it however and check in Combat Attributes, it's only giving a 6% bonus.

I've checked this in both Ouroboros and Talos, so there's no PVP zone weirdness going on.

I had an SGmate who also had it crafted on their Blaster check it and they were getting 12% the first time they checked and then 6% and then 12%.

Anyone else seeing weird behavior like that? There's a bug somewhere but I'm not sure if it's in the detail info for Defenders or in the actual effect for the power itself.

"Striving for the impossible" doesn't mean "toiling in vain". It means growth. It means improvement in the direction of your ideals. Not futility.

It says it gives double benefit to pets, which is only sort-of-true, because it actually gives its full listed bonus (12% in this case) to pets, and half that amount (6%) to players. It's terribly misleading.

Buh?? Seriously?

Hmm, so was the Blaster I talked to just on crack then or (more amusingly) have they been redesigned from an AT to simply Pets that the rest of the team let's tag along?

It really should list 6% in the detailed info, and then double that for pets, as its info says. The power as it is technically does what it says, but the info listed the way it is leads one to think "12% for players, 24% for pets". The actual behavior is the intended behavior, it's just the power info that is dumb.

I don't know what your Blaster friend was seeing; human error is always a possibility, but the power might also behave erratically in some situations.
