...At least according to Mids', referring to the scrapper Super Reflexes power. I checked the game and there is no psionic def given by Focused Senses. Unless I'm not reading it correctly?

i just checked mids and there is no mention of psi def in focused senses. in fact none of the powers in sr mention psi def. is your build done on mids and if so did you pick up weave? that might be what is giving you the small psi def. or are you seeing this in the power description?

Super Reflexes is all positional defenses, not typed defenses at all, so Mids' should not show any sort of psi defense from Focused Senses. Going to check it now since i've never seen that before.

What grabbed my attention was that I had 20% psionic def. in my DB/SR scrapper build. No, I don't have weave, and the only "all around" def. power I have is CJ. Turning that off it went to 17.6% def so I was still confused. So I went through all my toggles and found turning off Focused Senses brought my psionic def to 0%. I read under the "Effects" tab of the power, and it gives 11.3% psionic def, unenhanced.

Maybe my version is bugged, but I read this under the "Effects" tab for Focused Senses, 11.3% Psionic def.

you should not have seen psi def go up or down from 0 with any of the powers from sr whether on or off.

Check the mode in the top right corner, it sounds like you have PvP mode enabled(it DOES give that ammount of psi defense in PvP)

Nor do i.

i'm using program version 1.601, database version 1.69204, Game Issue 16 of Mids'.

Maybe the error is in a more recent update/version? i haven't updated mine in a while.

Is this in a PVP zone?? Only thing I can think of. SR will only give Melee,ranged and AOE

Same version I'm using. The program icon says it was created 09/15/09 and when the program opens, the title bar of the windows says "v1.6(Database Issue: 16 - Updated 11/09/09)". I tried updating and there aren't any available, and I tried closing and reopening the program and switching power sets back and forth and it's still there. The only thing I haven't tried is re-install.

No, it was in Mids' Hero & Villain Designer, but most likely it was set to display in PvP mode. Look at the OP and the posts immediately above yours.

Last i remember the built-in updater wasn't working since Mids' switched maintainers. Unless the newest version directs it to the new site?

Did you check to make sure it wasn't displaying the PvP values?

Ahhhhh.... highlighting the the value brings up a text box saying:

"11.3% Defense(Psionic) to Self for 0.75 seconds (in PvP)
Effect does not stack from same caster"

Still odd though how no one else is seeing this number... Is there a mode I'm in that I'm not aware of, something that toggles PvP from PvE?

EDIT: Sorry, noticed the Mode button above powers... case closed! Thanks for the responses.
