power information incorrect for sentinel ice blast

[drbuzzard]

The sentinel power chilling ray from ice blast is listing the damage done twice in the power description thus greatly inflating the amount of damage done.

 

This same error is present in City if Data (which makes sense since it pulls from the game DB). 

 

But basically the power says it does 

• • 100.3208 points of Cold damage (all affected targets)

     

 

twice, but in practice it only does the damage once. The double listing is incorporated into the calculated stats such as DPAS which makes ice blast look a lot better than it actually is.

It affects AVs and PvP differently than PvE. In PvE (non-AVs) the sleep is autohit while the damage requires a tohit check. In PvP and AVs they both require a tohit check. It does more damage in PvP than PvE, which is why it's listed twice.

But it doesn't do anything like the listed damage (which is the same thing twice). In practice it does less damage that bitter ice blast. There is definitely an error.
