There are several things that may have been keeping your damage low. For one thing, many electric attacks deal Damage Over Time (DOT): many small "ticks" of damage rather than one large "bang". If you deal 4 damage 10 times, that's 40 damage. Second, you may have been SK'd up, but if your difficulty was high the enemies would still be higher level than you. That makes them take less damage. Third, at low levels you do not have access to the higher level enhancements (DOs, SOs, and IOs) that make your attacks do their maximum damage. You also don't have all your attacks yet, like your pet (Voltaic Sentinel) or your nuke (Thunder something... HO!).

Once you actually get to 50, you should be doing a lot more damage. But if you want your single-target damage numbers to be really high, you would do better with the Ice or Sonic secondaries.

I recently started a Defender,I was in an ae group where I was auto-sk, but for some reason, my damage using electric powers was really low, around 4-10 Damage per special, is this normal? Does electric really do so little damage at 50? or I am experiencing some kind of issue?

Forgive me if I'm misjudging but, looking at your reg date, I'm assuming you're new to the game. There are no "healing classes" in this game (We don't even call them classes most of the time. It's Archetypes or ATs for short). In fact, trying to make any AT into a pure healer will net you mixed results. The same goes for making a "healer with some damage output."

That said, Corruptors are the primary buffers of CoV. All of their secondaries focus on buffing and debuffing. If you want to have healing capability, take Pain Domination as your secondary. It was advertised as the "Evil counterpart to Empathy", which it kinda is. The set has a bit of a heavier focus on buffing than healing though.

Check out the Guides and FAQs section at the top of this forum to find some Pain Dom guides.

From what I have read, this class is the healing class for Villains, but, I haven't seen that many healing abilities on the trees, to make this class a healer and still have some damage output, what primaries and secondaries should I take? Should I also take the medicine ability?
Thanks
