How much weaker are the Corruptor Secondaries compared to their Defender Primary counterparts (%)?

Corrupters have a .75 modifier compared to defenders 1 modifier. So they are about 25% weaker on the secondaries.
Some powers however, are the same regardless, usually pets and psuedopets.
For instance, Tar Patch is -30% resistance regardless of class.
Easy way to see?
Head in to the character creator, fake your way through 'til you pick the powersets. Pick "Show info" and look.

Normally, just enough. It is noticeable, but not game changing. Corruptors and Contollers can buff/debuff very well, but defenders do it just enough better that it can matter (but not usually much).|

Dark Miasma, however, has a few powers that are identical to the defender version, Tar Patch for sure, parts of Twilight Grasp and maybe Howling Twilight?
Either way, the sets are fine for both ATs, so I'd choose between the two based on which powers I want to get early game and which other features of the AT I prefer to play.
Why Blasters? Empathy Sucks.
So, you want to be Mental?
What the hell? Let's buff defenders.
Tactics are for those who do not have a big enough hammer. Wisdom is knowing how big your hammer is.

Well they not Defenders for one thing, for some reason you think they are, They got High Attack Damage, unlike defenders which has a weak attack output. Corrupters are Damage dealing and use Scourge, The Debuff and Buff's are Secondy not like Defenders, where there Debuff and buff's are Primary. You can't Compare them together at All.|

Main Goals
Defender- Support the team first by debuffing Mobs and Buffing team mates before attacking
Corruptors- Main Goal is to inflect Damage first, while buffing teams or Debuffing mobs, you kind of have to figure a good balance of offense and defense, They are indeed more complex.

GreenFIame:
I didn't ask about roles... I asked a specific question regarding each class.
By the way... solo Defenders nowadays have a higher base damage than Corruptors (not counting scourge)... so I wouldn't say damage should never be one's consideration depending on their goals. Not saying this to argue... just pointing it out. (as your reply really didn't address my question)

Thanks for the info!

Since I believe a defender should be blasting quite frequently, suffice it to say that I disagree with the notion that corruptors are more complex to run than a defender. |
