How is Alpha Slot, Musculature Calculated?

It's not supposed to work that way. It sounds like a bug of some type (probably a display bug). Let me check my characters who have musculature.
EDIT: Just checked two characters, Brawl is showing 45% enhancement for both. You might try logging out and back in, see if that clears it.
Notably, 78% is 45% + 33%. To me this suggests the game is for some reason giving you the benefit of both your old and new alpha. See if it persists, or goes away upon zoning/logging/whatever.
I don't have a character with a Musculature t4 specifically, but I do have a couple with Musculature t3 and have not seen this effect. I feel pretty confident saying you've encountered some kind of bug; I saw a similar thing with another alpha before.
.. there is a similar bug in cardiac too, that gave double % of end reduction in powers that were not slotted with End red IO.. its random though ..... when we found it (and we petitioned it) we did a good checking... some people had it in a toon of theirs but not in any other toons with same cardiac... some ppl didn't had it at all, and the power WAI..

maybe its related to the zoning bug that doubles up benefits from IO procs briefly?

Awesome.
I am asking this because I just got the Tier 4 version of this power (45% damage increase) -- I am looking at all my stats now and notice something interesting...
Powers that can do damage with 0 damage slots in it (IE Brawl, Boxing,) are now at 78% damage...
My regular attacks are at 149.6 %...
So is the power calculated twice? 45% + 30% or something?
