For Anyone Willing To Read- A Bit Of A Gripe

I don't think you can adequately review a powerset that you only took to level 10.
The powers themselves do pretty average damage for Corruptor primaries. The first few powers do exactly the same damage as corollaries in the other powersets, for instance. It's just that the set lacks Aim, which can hurt burst damage, but gets the Ammo Swap power instead, which gives the set more theoretical flexibility.
Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

I've gotten 3 DPs to lvl 50 (RAD/DP, DP/Time, DP/Mental) and while the AOE is okay (imo), the ST just lacks terribly :/

The BrandX Collection
Main toon is an Nrg/Dark Blaster, also have a serious alt that is a TW/Nrg Aura Brute and both are awesome.
I just made a DP/Kin Corrupter hoping that Scourge would kind of set off the inherent weakness of DP. Just got it to level 10 and I must say that I fully agree with most of the ppl I have seen posting in this forum that DP is simply meh. It's so underpowered and limited and that is such a disappointment.
Unlike many I love the animations and the whole Kurt Wimmer, Ultraviolet, Gun Kata, Gun Fu stuff, it's fraking awesome to watch, albeit obviously unrealistic, but hey this is a game so whatever is possible.
In order to make DP better only a two very minor things need to be done and it will be on par with similar sets and powers.
1. Make it do more damage overall. The rounds just do not inflict enough damage. I went through a mission with several SO's slotted and each power still only did very minimal damage to even low level critters. Even when Scourge kicked in they still were such a let down. So once again the whole set simply needs to have more damage ability overall.
2. Why can't I slot enchantments in the Cryo, Fire and Toxic ammo in the Swap Ammo power? This would allow me to increase the secondary damage - hold durations, DoT from the fire and the debuff from the toxic damage. Just don't make any sense.
If the Devs did this to DP it wouldn't make it over powerful, it would make it average and that would make it the way it should be. I know this is a new set and I hope the future brings some kind of revamp like this becaue I wanted to love DP but it's just so mediocre and weak.
Thanks for reading :0)
