Melee Power Stat - Not Working?

[Annaise16]

In the live game, the power stat contributions to damage/healing never appeared on the tooltips. This was a bug. However, the power stat contributions were being applied correctly as could be seen by looking at the damage/heal values in the combat log. I suspect this is the same here. You can check by viewing damage/heal values in the combat log and checking how they are changed by adding and removing gear items that contain the power stat.

can confirm. even having 200 meleepower later on was not shown in the tooltips.

Thanks Guys. Just seems too bad, I thought it was going to be stronger than STR. Given I play a Chosen its probably not a good stat to stack as I already have a hard time balancing wounds/toughness/armor while trying to keep STR high. Dropping even more of those valuable stats for a "str equiv" wont really do much but make me more glass canon.... Ill just stick to my 5/5 Merc gear for the extra stat point

Can we confirm via testing that the stats are actually working? Because from my limited testing late last night I couldn't see them actually coming into play..

But I'll be honest and say that I'm not the greatest when it comes to testing either.

When I equipped the shoulders I saw no increase in damage from hitting a few NPCs. In fact I could have sworn I saw a decrease... So I too would like confirmation

I just checked the contribution from healing power and it is working properly.

from what i remember one of the best ways to test contribution was to pound on a door / oil / siege
