Is the Kheldian form powers (Dark Nova Bolt, etc.) on the City of Data website?

If you compare a Blaster vs a Corruptor in the catagory of raw damage:

Melee: Blaster (1.0) - Corruptor (.75)
Range: Blaster (1.0) - Corruptor (.75)

And you factor in their Inherent powers:

Blaster: Defiance
Corruptor: Scourge

Would you say the Corruptor makes up the difference of their lower base modifier with their Inherent, so that they about equal out in total DPS over time?

Or to put it another way, does a Corruptor kill stuff as fast as a Blaster does?

Has anyone heard anything from the Devs on some of these issues?

Are the status protections of Tankers/Stalkers/Brutes all at the same mag level?

And what is that level? Seems like I remember seeing a dev post saying they reduced the mag level of the status protection powers for Tankers/Stalkers/Brutes.

Thanks!

There goes my planned AE Alpha Strike...

I've seen some conflicting info on Thunder Strike that I would like to get cleared up for me.

Does the full damage get done to everyone within the AE range? Or is there more done to the targeted creature, and a lesser amount of "splash" damage to the surrounding creatures?

I was thinking that this would be a viable alpha strike combo, with numbers from Ver: 1.7.5.0 of the CoH_CoV Character Builder:

Aim
Build-Up
Run into middle of group
Ball Lightning (1.07 Act, 2.8333 BI unenhanced rating)
Short Circuit (3 Act, 2.5 BI unenhanced rating)
Thunder Strike (3.3 Sct, 9.1445 BI unenhanced rating)

For a total of 7.37 seconds to do 14.4778 BI of damage.

For a comparision, using fire/fire AEs:
Fire Ball (1 Act, 3.3334 BI)
Fire Breath (2.67 Act, 4.875 BI) or Combustion (3 Act, 3.6113 BI)
Fire Sword Circle (4.17 Act, 5.7002 BI)

For a total of 7.84 seconds to do 13.9086 BI of damage, or (if you used Combustion) 8.17 seconds to do 12.6449 BI of damage.

So if Thunder Strike does full damage to everything in it's AE range then the Elec/Elec build should do more damage than the Fire/Fire build. Or am I missing something?

Of course this all assumes you can stand in the middle of a mob of creatures for roughly 8 seconds to get all those powers off. Tanks are your friend...

Bug:

Ice Manipulation - Ice Sword

-After activating the power and it does off and does it's damage (Damage numbers show up above toons on screen and in the combat log...), there is a 2-3 second delay before you can activate another power. With the fast attack times of all the Ice Blast powers this is very noticeable and annoying.

Thanks,

Thanks!

Is there a post somewhere that explains all the video options available in CoX and how to set them for performance vs. graphics?

Thanks,

The Defender Numbers vs. Mastermind Numbers (Narcissus) link doesn't seem to work for me. Is anyone else having an issue with it?
