  To see what percentage your offense is stat is doing, go to the info tab and scroll over offense. I don't know how that percentage effects damage though.

  It really depends. FF characters hit diminishing returns on bonus damage (SS bonus + Offense + Slotted Passive + Form + Active Offense + STR/EGO bonus, etc). The actual bonus that you get would vary depending on other factors. Should you be running a Defensive Passive and IDF, your SS bonus, STR/EGO bonus, and Offense stat will play a much larger role. With an Offense Passive and Form, your Offense and STR/EGO bonuses won't play that big of a role.
  
  I haven't seen much theorycrafting on this in a while though, so I can't tell you exactly when DR hits. I just switched from Way of the Warrior (with +89% stated bonus damage) to Night Warrior (with +44% stated bonus damage) in one of my builds, and I only lost about 8% damage. Had I done this at level 40 (with higher Offense and bonus on my Form), I probably would not have noticed any difference at all.

  Offense, Passive, Ego/Str bonus, Superstat Role Bonus, Active Offense/That-one-darkness-power-advantage & Star bonuses are all additives.
  
  Critical Severity and Negative Resistances are Multiplicative As well as That one tk form.
  
  Additives have no diminishing returns in regard to how much 1% is. They just require too much from the player to push an extra 1% on top of their ~900%.
  
  Multiplicative bonuses come after all additives and are slightly harder to obtain but are much more powerful than additives.
  
  All powers have a base damage that the additives apply to(first) then the multiplicative bonuses are placed.
  
  Note: Most powers have variance.
  ______________________________
  
  Defense doesn't get any worst than it does at .5 but offense takes the biggest dump on all the values 200+.
  
  At level 40 67.6 offense is 15% damage bonus and 1288.6 offense is 52% damage bonus
  
  (1288.6/67.6)*15 = 285.932%
  
  Compare 52%(actual) to 285.932%('estimated')
  
  (120/67.6)*15 = 26.627('estimated') 22%(actual)
  (135.2/67.6)*15 = 30('estimated') 24%(actual)
  (209.1/67.6)*15 = 46.398('estimated') 31%(actual)
  
  Base Offense(0) grants 0%
  67.6 Offense grants 15%
  120 Offense grants 22%
  135.2 Offense grants 24%
  209.1 Offense grants 31%
  263.9 Offense grants 34%
  340.5 Offense grants 38%
  433.4 Offense grants 41%
  472 Offense grants 42%
  563.8 Offense grants 44%
  702.7 Offense grants 47%
  739.7 Offense grants 47%
  829.5 Offense grants 48%
  851.2 Offense grants 49%
  881.1 Offense grants 49%
  1040.7 Offense grants 50%
  1066.7 Offense grants 51%
  1188.6 Offense grants 51%
  1288.6 Offense grants 52%
  
  
  With all that said it is significantly easier to mega-stack offense than defense.
