Ranger companion damage dont scale

Multi attack powers are significantly more powerful for the purposes of causing damage than single target powers.

The beast ranger powers (ie - the ones that allow a simultaeneous beast+ranger attack) are balanced much closer to single-attack multi-[w] powers (ie - you only add most bonuses once, on the ranger's attack).

The problem is multi attack powers being too good, not anything else being weak.

I'm not sure from your examples, but are you adding Str to the twin strike damage? Because you shouldn't! It is just [W]+ other bonuses (or 2[W] + other bonuses at epic level)

(although I agree, there does appear to be a problem with scaling of Beast companion attacks on the at-will stage. But is that partially because nothing compares well with twin strike ;))

Cheers

Those numbers weren't for twin strike.
 

Many of the beast powers either combine a beast attack -and- a weapon attack, in which case you can get the weapon enhancement damage, OR they add your Wis modifier to the beast's damage, which can make up for the loss of weapon enhancement. If you're a ranger and your Wis is less than 22 at the end of epic, you're probably doing it wrong.

And yeah, everything looks a bit weak compared to twin strike.
