| − | ==Overview==
| + | |
| − | The '''Damage Scale''' (also referred to as ''damage scalar'') is a form of comparing attacks across [[archetype]]s (usually at level 50). The base damage modifier of an attack is compared with the [[Blaster]] archetype's original damage modifiers of 1.0 for both Ranged and Melee, though Blasters have since been buffed to 1.125 for ranged.

| − | This is a player and developer created concept, not an actual game mechanic. What the game actually does is each power has a scale for the effect, and an attributes table that it pulls the value from; the damage scale of the attack is multiplied by the value pulled from the attribute modifiers table (determined by archetype and level) to get the actual effect of the power.

| − | What the Damage Scale comparison does is if a level 50 Blaster did 50 points of damage from a melee attack, it would then be multiplied by the modifier for another archetype to find out how much it would do for that archetype. For instance, a [[Brute]]'s Melee scale is .75; a level 50 Brute using the same attack as the level 50 Blaster (who did 50 points of damage) would do

| − | 50 * .75 = 37.5
| + | |
| − | 37.5 damage at base, though keep in mind a Brute's [[Inherent Powers#Fury|Fury]] and a Blaster's [[Inherent Powers#Defiance|Defiance]] allow greater damage.
