Scrapper numbers base:
Soul Mastery->In Game Links
Moonbeam: 102.32 damage
Dark Blast: 62.56 damage
Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.
I enjoy playing in Mids. I specialize in Melee Characters, other AT's usually bore me.

The City of Heroes Community is a special one and I will always look fondly on my times arguing, discussing and playing with you all. Thanks and thanks to the developers for a special experience.
[Soul Mastery.Moonbeam] is showing me 143.89 for a 50 Scrapper, actually, which is better still 
The fast Moonbeam will have DPA comparable to Brute Gloom, although of course with its longer recharge and the tohit requirement it's still not as good.
Remember to select the AT as scrappers instead of stalkers for the top 3.
Moonbeam - 143.89 damage - 1.584 A time = 90.8 DPS
Zapp - 63.95 damage - 1.584 A time = 40.3 DPS
Mace Beam - 143.9 damage - 2.244 A time = 64.1 DPS (Plus weapon redraw)
For comparison, here are some examples
Brute Gloom - 73.44 damage - 1.32 A time = 55.6 DPS
Brute KoB - 148.48 damage - 2.376 A time = 62.5 DPS
Scrapper Dark Blast (Darkness Mastery) - 62.56 damage - 1.188 A time = 52.6 DPS
Scrapper Incinerate - 156.4 damage - 1.848 A time = 84.6 DPS
Moonbeam is -really- good, but that's balanced by the 24 second recharge time. Even with a recharge build, you'll still only see it every 7-8 seconds, definitely not a gloom, but not bad as an extra attack either.

PvP Redux is discontinued, for obvious reasons. Thanks to everyone who helped and joined.
OK, but now I'm confused more. What justifies Zapp doing less than half the damage of the other snipes? Does anyone actually have this power?

I suspect Zapp IS using the ranged modifier; its damage lines up exactly for that to be the case.

I was looking over my build in anticipation of Issue 24 and I noticed that the snipe powers in the Patron Pools don't do much, if any, damage more than the ST Blasts. If Mids and City of Data (I guess its the same people now) are right, then why would anyone ever take the snipes?
