Just wondering if anyone else had this problem? My MK V-A Potency mods have a 23% protection bonus on them. However, when I equip them, I get no extra protection on my characters? Is there a certain gear level you need to be at for this protection bonus to show up? Thanks

Do you have protection? 23% of 0 is 0. Protection starts appearing per gear tier, starting at VII. The % protection increase doesn't apply to (flat) protection from other mods.

I do have protection. Only 300 right now because of character gear lvl, but there is no adjustment going on.

Ok, a few things to confirm here. Where are you checking that no protecion is gained? When you preview equipping the mod, it should show you a screen afterwards with all your stats that has it highlighted in green what changes will occur when you confirm them.

It will show you right when you equip the mod how much protection it will give you. Afterwards you have to hit confirm to finalize your changes otherwise they will never be visible from the regular character panel, or in combat as the mod will not actually be equipped.

What gear level is the toon in question? Sounds like your 300 protection is from a mod, and as @Acrofales noted, the % increase won't apply to that.

These bonus only work on Base values. Protection from mods and current gear is NOT considered base value. You most likely have 0 protection and 23% of 0 is still 0.

Total Protection After mods:

Base Protection + Flat Protection Values + Percentage Protection values multiplied by base protection

So if you have 0 Base protection, a 23.5% protection primary, and a +300 protection secondary:

0 + 300 + 0.235*(0) = 300 protection.

Once your character gets to gear level 7 they will have a base protection value and the % protection bonuses will start adding up as well as just the direct flat protection values.

Yeah I think that is it, will un-Equip mod and place it on higher level character and see if bonus shows.

Confirmed, It is a gear level problem, there was no base protection since he was at gear level 6, switch to a gear level 9 character and it gave boost.
. Thanks for help.
