Storm Summoning for Corruptor- Possible bug with lightning storm that needs sleuthed?

[Vulgaris]

A few things I've seen have lead me to believe that Corrupter is in error- Internally using the controller version of the summon for lightning storm and not the defender one. Which means that it's doing less damage than intended- On top of that it should have it's own version internally with the damage values adjusted accordingly and not be using the defender variation either.

If anyone could do some file sleuthing or in world testing to confirm or deny this would be appreciated.

Edit: City of data and Mids using the current database show defender as using it's own class of the lightning storm entity or sharing the NPC version- I imagine the controller default version on corruptor is simply to give it the slightly lower endurance mod and recovery debuff scaling. But it does go against the grain of the increased damage mod for corruptors as well, who even their other pseudopets and things in traps get a higher damage bump.

I believe this is working as intended. Corruptors and controllers both get storm as a secondary, while defenders get it as a primary. Powers in a primary are always more powerful than in a secondary.

I possibly thought that too but- There's a fairly consistent throughline where "If it's primarily damage, Corrupter gets higher damage values but lower debuff/secondary effect values." for those similar powers.

IE: Corruptor gets traps as a secondary and defender gets it as a primary- But their bombs (Primarily damaging entities) are more well, damaging.  Trick arrow acid arrow shares a similar behavior.

Just checked recently again and this still seems to be the case. 🤔 It's a niche of a niche but it still rubs me the wrong way given all the data on hand.
