lets say you upgraded overload so it does 20% more damage. then you upgrade it again so it does 50% more damage. my question is, does the 50% stack with the 20% damage bonus, so you now have 70% more damage than the original overload? or does the 2nd upgrade bring the total damage bonus to 50% . so you now have 50% more damage than the orignal overload.
also i'm sorry for the all undercase letters. my phone apparently just isn't feeling capital letters todat.
thanksl

I think it does not stack, overload is powerful enough without stacking. Not sure if it does or not though.

Well, it gives you the damage numbers in the upgrade descriptions. I just checked using incinerate and, assuming the number is the damage being done, sadly it seems u just get the highest percentage upgrade is applied to base damage.

Oddly, the numbers don't come out exactly right. Which begs the question: Is Bioware not even competent enough to handle basic percentages!?

 I think it brings the total up to 70% in your example. You can check by looking at the power tree. Highlighting each rank of a power shows the damage at that particular rank (i.e., highlighting rank 1 displays the base damage, even if you already have the power at rank 6).

In the example you looked at, had you already invested in one of the two damage upgrades? The display only includes damage from other powers, the highlighted rank, and ranks lower than the highlighted rank that you've already taken.

That is, if you only have rank 1 of a power, highlighting rank 3 will only show the base plus the bonus from rank 3, not from rank 2. But if you then take rank 2, highlighting rank 3 will show the base plus the bonus from both rank 2 and 3.

Yeah, I had Incinerate at rank 3 with the first 20% upgrade. And then I highlighted the rank 4 30% upgrade, which I don't have yet. The numbers come out to neither exactly the upgrades stacking or it just being a 30% off of base. It is closer though to 30% off of base, less than if it were stacking, but a little more than 130% of base (possibly due to other passive power upgrade...)

That's odd. I don't have access to the game at the moment, but I thought I recalled the bonuses stacking. I must have been mistaken.

Anyway, the discrepancy is definitely due to a passive bonus (Alliance Training or Turian Veteran or whatever). I know those show up in the power tree because I remember checking my Frag Grenade's damage immediately before and after putting a rank in Alliance Training.

The formula is Damage = base damage * ( 1 + sum of all the bonus you have).
So you should get 70% extra damage (compared to the base damage).
On the incinarate, the base damage is 300. Damage with the 20% bonus is 360 and with the extra 30% bonus it goes to 450.
