Bladetempest question

People say that endgame, wizards can one shot any class. BIDS for heavy/LA, and BT for arcane. What I want to know, if level 10 BIDS does 500% weapon damage +9k~, but it says level 10 BT only does 200% +4k~, how is it possible that even if BT does half physical damage, it has the capabilities of one shotting anything? Level 10 glacial snare does more damage.
So I thought about it... and is it actually 200% +4K~ damage for each type of damage? Meaning in total it would be doing 400% +8K~ damage?
I dunno if I worded that correctly for my question to be understood, but hopefully someone understands what I'm getting at b:surrender

    200% + 4k x 2. even magichamsta knows this.....i think.......i hope................
    Sins are Scissors. Psychics are Rocks.
    Archers, Venos, Barbs, Wizards, BMs, Mystics, Seekers are Paper.
    ...and Clerics are Mushrooms.
    Paper beats Rock. Scissors beats Paper. Scissors also happens to beat Rock...until Rock gets 50k+ soulforce at which point Rock becomes an unstoppable killing machine that beats Paper... and would beat Scissors but it can't find Scissors, because Scissors are invisible.
    So Scissors beat Paper and avoids Rock, and that is called BALANCE. -cheze

    frankieraye: I'll see if we can replace the woman with a stick figure and the tiger fangs with marshmallows.//Issues like these need to get escalated quickly to minimize the damage.
    Kantorek: Yeah.. you should try it. It's awesome.
    Sihndra: Nope- not currently possible under any circumstances. Sorry.

    Blade Tempest is by far the coolest spell I have (in terms of visual appeal) BIDS just doesn't look all that great even though whenever I use it around low levels they are always "Oooo cool whats that"

    =(

    Bids sucks. ;p (in before arguement)

    LOL nah, I'm not that stupid. I have some PK experience (RPKs, PK duels and regular duels) under my belt with my Barb and Cleric >.>
    I've actually dueled you with my Barb before. Needless to say you kicked my ****, but I just wanted to see if you could one shot me. You only came so close b:chuckle
    Not going back to PK till I'm a much higher level with any of them. PK is no fun on a PvE server unless you're a high level D:
