Can someone help me figure out why this does not work?
Not sure what you mean exactly.
When you put the piece of gear on with 4 more power on it, you get 4 more power.
You’re still getting the 5/6 bonuses from the rest of your gear. So no 10% bonus damage at 90% health. Don’t think that displays in your stats anywhere.
The exotic is giving you 4 more power than the green, which is displayed in your stat window.
<_< I was really over thinking things, or in a state of confusion. You made it sound so derpingly simple, and I am pretty sure you are right.
So let’s just pretend this was all just to show off my beautiful character.
Have a good day!
