Storm Summoning Damage on a Defender Vs Corruptor

[Darkir]

Does anyone know the reasoning as to why storm summoning does more damage on a defender compared to a corruptor? Is it a bug like sleet doing the same -res on a defender and corruptor?

Primaries are more powerful than secondaries.  Just storm summoning happens to have a fair amount of damage in it for a buff set.

Shouldn't the endurance drain in electric blast or the -tohit in dark blast be better on a corruptor then? 

 

But defenders get better modifiers right? And corruptors get better damage...but not if its a secondary apparently? Do you see why I am confused when it comes to storm summoning?

Only true for Lightning Storm, and not by much. Tornado and Freezing Rain do the same damage on defenders and corruptors. Gale does more damage on corruptors (again, not by much). It's wonky because most of the powers spawn pseudo pets. Storm really needs to get the QA pass that Dark Miasma got a year or two ago.

When comparing damage to secondary effects, it's a combination of primaries being more powerful than secondaries and also a function of AT bonuses.  Defenders have the best modifier in the game for things like End Drain, heals, -DEF, -RES, etc.

 

Corruptors have weaker Lightning Storm than defenders because it's in their secondary set... while the Endurance drain in their primary is weaker because that's an enhanceable debuff which is what defenders are best at, but corruptors have better damage.

I suspect this has a lot to do with the disparity...
