A tempest and a great weapon fighter doing the same number of attacks is going to be pretty similar in damage. There might be a difference of about 3 points of expected damage, not counting magic item powers. When you're doing over 20 damage in static damage alone, those 3 points aren't going to matter, really. Basically, any power which does multiple attacks gets a greater benefit from static damage, while any power which does a single attack with a high [W] multiple is going to benefit more from weapon damage die size. When you count up the total static damage for a tempest and a great weapon fighter with similar builds, the tempest might have a couple points more static damage, while the great weapon fighter might have a slightly bigger [W] size.</blockquote>
