In RV, I will would willing to bet that Corr's are more survivable and can lock a blaster down better then the other way around.

With the update to Vigilance, it's not hard to concoct examples where a solo Defender (or one on a small team) can actually surpass a Corrupter's damage if you allow for identical sets and leave Scourge out of the discussion. The Defender's ability to bring higher amounts of -resistance to a team is a very strong point in the Defender's favor.

Scourge is the Corrupter wildcard - it's great when it happens, but it's a little unpredictable, hard to quantify for DPS calculations, and is sometimes wasted in a fancy display of overkill.

I always miss those days! Not to highjack the thread but CoH back then was an absolute blast (no pun intended) lol. Now...its still "good"...just now frigg'n awesome

I have a decent sound system on my comp and I used to love the massive herds with all of the powers going off at once. Now that I think about it...i'm pretty sure I crashed the comp a few times when too many of those powers went off at once :P

I believe it depends a lot on the players.. But straight down, I have a hard time picturering a blaster kill a corr face on.. The corr does lower damage, that is true.. But they have a massive ability to buff and debuff, and heal.. And after the blaster loses about 60% of his health, which he will.. He loses.. 25% chance for crit is a lot, and only going higher..

So unless the corr forgets to heal and debuff, and the blaster catches him off guard I have a hard time seeing a blaster killing a corr..
