75% Damage, always?

It has been said that Corruptors do around 75% of the damage that Blasters do.

Kinetics corruptors, Siphon Power and Fulcrum shift, that has to easily make up for the 25% difference and more!
I'm not sure of the exact statistics, or of any other corruptor Damage buffs, but it must surely count for something for that a measly 25%

But of course, I'm not counting the fact that Blasters have Build up and Corruptors don't...

Corruptor base damage is 75% of blaster damage, but corruptors can have access to buffs and debuffs, and scourge.

Of course there will be instances where Corruptors do more damage than an unbuffed Blaster, even while soloing in some cases. All secondaries can buff damage or debuff resistances in solo situations, allowing Corrutors to deal more damage.

I was going to start a new thread about this but this OP seems fine to do it in.

What is the boost of Assualt from the leadership pool on a Corrupter? is it negligible like a Blaster? or Useful like a Defender?
Just wondering if slotted it could go towards bridging that 25% gap.

I don't believe its ever negligible - since it affects all attacks and those of your teammates however the numbers are:

Defender 18.75%
Controller, Corruptor , Peacebringer, Warshade, 15%
Mastermind 12%
Blaster, Scrapper, Tanker, Brute, Stalker, Dominator 10.5%

as far as I know.

Hmm this seems a bit unfair on the villain side when u think of it. Not one AT gets the boost available to some AT's on CoH from the leadership, perhaps a tweak is in order?

altho not having the same base dmg as my blaster, i find it easier playing my corruptor, hence how its lvl 40 and my hero is still lvl 28, its also easier to sooo if u pick powers that have good synergy.

kinetics ftw!!!

Are those stats for Leadership 3 slotted or unslotted?

I believe those are unslotted figures for Assault, which you can't slot for more boost

Damage = base + buff + slots

With 3 Dam SOs
Blaster damage = 1.0 + 0.0 + 0.95 = 1.95

Corruptor damage = ( 1.0 + 0.0 + 0.95 ) * 0.75 = 1.46
Corruptor damage ( Assault ) = ( 1.0 + 0.15 + 0.95 ) * 0.75 = 1.575
Corruptor damage ( buffed to blaster level ) = ( 1.0 + 0.65 + 0.95 ) * 0.75 = 1.95

Buffed to blaster level is with a total 0.65 buff, this could be from Assault + 3 x Siphon Powers ( around 18% buff each for Corruptors I'd guess ) from the Kinetics secondary available at level 2 IIRC.

If we were taking a /Kin corruptor at level 2, he could probably match blaster damage by using 2 siphon powers. Siphon Power will just stack unslotted IIRC, so he will be close for damage, but will also have a self heal.

Also someone mentioned Scourge briefly. A blaster will be in effect 25% faster at dropping an enemy to 50% health, however, the last 50% health and a corruptor will catch almost any other AT with the massive chance of double damage.

Don't mention defiance, as that sucks.
