Still remember crashing to desktop on Live if a Zealot gave me a buff mid combat.

9. Can we get defensive abilities to show up in character sheet - I'd like to know its actually working: Deft Defender / Reflexes / Defender abilities

Next update, because my god am I tired of hearing that these skills "aren't working".

everytime you visit the renown trainer there should be a big red message on the screen telling you to use .getstats to see that they are indeed working

afaik .getstat doesn't show your block and disrupt. It shows only bonus block and disrput.

Outside of your bonus block and disrupt, your chance to avoid an attack is variable based on their stat vs your stat and compared to a factor.

Strength Vs Weapon Skill for Parry

Ballistic Skill vs Initiative for Dodge

Intelligence vs Willpower for Disrupt

Str/BS/Int vs Block Rating on shield for Block.

So your character sheet will never give a perfectly accurate value as to how much avoidance you have. You need to know their stat and compare it to yours, However, your bonus chance is always the minimum chance you have to avoid an attack.

I was about to post this lol. Did it all the time, it was priceless.

With regard to what the server sends and the client shows, in the live game, the client never recognised melee/magic/ballistic/healing power contributions to damage/healing when calculating the tooltip values of abilities. I always assumed it was because the client tooltip calculations were made using early code that predated the existence of the power stat.

AFAIK there is no actual calculation for tooltip damage. The client literally has a table that has the tooltip for every level.

The client calculates tooltip damage from the stored base damage plus the relevant offensive stat and weapon DPS, according to the coefficients for both.

I like being wrong. Guess the table I was looking at was the stored base damage.
