Dragon's Tail.......what am I not seeing?

The description says "Does slightly more damage than Thunder Kick."

 

Currently:

Thunder kick  Damage per cast: 5.63

Dragon's Tail DPC: 1.53

 

How is this slightly MORE damage?


They both currently have only ACC enhance and nothing else.  Does Dragon Tail magically quadruple it's damage in time or does slotting MASSIVELY change it?

That text is a carryover from the Martial Arts (scrapper/stalker/brute/tank) version of the powers, in which Dragon's Tail (1.18 scale) does do more damage than Thunder Kick (0.84 scale). For Martial Assault, Thunder Kick was increased to 1.48 scale and Dragon's Tail was reduced to 0.899 scale. The text for Dominators should be corrected.

 

Damage per cast cycle is the wrong metric to compare powers, as it's dividing the total damage by the recharge. In terms of raw damage, the Dominator version of Thunder Kick does about 1.65x the damage of Dragon's Tail, but Dragon's Tail is a PBAoE and can hit up to 10 foes whereas Thunder Kick is single target.
