Strike of Corruption not scaling after level 70?

[Mew]

I dinged 71 and got the adept III bloodlines spell upgrade Smite Corruption.  Checking it against the AA, Strike of Corruption I noticed that the AA did not scale with the spell.  In fact, the adept III 71 spell is a lot better (albeit slower cast time) than the Strike AA.  I have 5 AA's in Strike of Corruption.  If it kept scaling as I thought it should it would be better than the level 71 Adept III or at least as good.  Anyone else notice this?

<p>The CA abilities are ALL weaker than their spell counterparts. Also notice that the CA's are max Adept 1 quality. The ability does scale every level and does get better at 80 compared to 70. The AA's are also Independant of the spells. They have no bearing on each other, besides the fact that they share the same reuse timer. The only benefit to the CA's is they cast so much quicker THUS lower damage and longer reuse than the spells. The spell however take 2-3 seconds to cast and have shorter reuse and more damage. But in a DPS sense being able to throw out CA's between autoattack swings is more beneficial than waiting 3 seconds for a spell to land. 1 Swing from any decent 2 hander will make up for the damage of any 1 of our spells in less time as well. Now you are educated, go out and kill stuff with that knowledge.</p>

Not to mention that the CA's can take advantage of a 100% chance to crit AA, something the spells cannot ...

just a hint...they re called CA... they scale up with.....STR ! and their dot part with ..INT .  Go STR / CA dmg stuff, if possible int ,and you will see how high they will hit.
