ha !!!!

I don't think anyone is a good example of a low damage character any more. Those damage rankings were set up at CoH release, when Controllers had no Containment, and thus did about half the damage they do now.

Defenders vary greatly depending on their Primary. They can go from one of the best damage dealing Archetypes in the game, for large teams of multiple Rad/Sonics, to Force Field Defenders, who without Sonic as a Secondary have the lowest damage of any AT. (Solo they at least get a +30% damage bonus, but at best that helps even them out from 1 to 22. Past that point the ~+15% overall damage is merely enough to keep them from struggling solo, IMHO)

Masterminds have very low personal damage, but anyone who says they can't deal damage should be laughed at.

That leaves Tankers, Corruptors, who have Scourge as well as similar but reduced offensive buff/debuffs like Defenders, and Dominators, who no longer have to struggle with low damage until they can get Domination. And those are all ATs who are called "Moderate". (Actually, Corruptors are said to have High damage, but I think Moderate is somewhat closer, at least when soloing)

Nope... Just broke.
