Working as intended, no secondary powers Scourge.
Well except gale... which strangely is the only power that gains containment damage too.
Other than that single oddity no powers in the game found in a secondary "critical" (crits/scourge/containment).

Well that is just plain dissapointing. I guess I will just have to be content with a load of orange numbers instead. *sniffles*

Be happy that when rain of fire scourges it does triple damage instead of double. That is pretty close to what it would be like if rof only did normal scourge and oil slick scourged 
OSA + Scourge = Blizzard with no crash, for less initial endurance, at half the base recharge.
I'm thinking that it's not just WAI, it would be an exception even if other (non-Gale) secondary powers did Scourge. Then again, there have definately been some odd balance decisions IMO, so maybe it wouldn't have been.

In fact the only damage dealing, Non-Pet(Pseudo-pet) secondary power Controllers have that doesn't get Containment is Repulsion Bomb, though it used to before they buffed it (they intentionally removed Containment from it at that time). (I guess /FF Controllers getting any kind of remotely useful offense was too good... even if it was on 3x the normal recharge for a 1scale AoE attack.)
Seems rather inconsistant for one AT to get critical damage from it's secondary... but not even ALL of it's secondary(ies).

Strangely, I knew that acid arrow worked that way as I have an ill/ta and an earth/ta. Not entirely sure what I was thinking with my above comment. Well it was probably the absence of thought haha.|

Thx for the correction.
Well I got my fire/ta corr up to OSA level the other night, but I noticed OSA didn't seem to be scourging. I tested it out tonight only lighting my oil slick, several times, and not a single scourge tick.
My dreams of a massive scourge cloud from RoF, OSA and fireball have been shattered.
So is this WAI? Or is it just broken? Does it not get a scourge effect 'cos it is a secondary power, or because it's a pseudo-pet power?
Has anyone else seen a scourge message from OSA?
