On top of this, DBoS stuns a target, which unlocks the Exploiter passive from the Ritual tree to become active, which is a flat 10% damage bonus against any target that is stunned or off balanced, leading this to be EVEN stronger than FDB.Īnd in PvP I'd even take DBoS over Flawless, on non Nightblade classes, the stun and added damage is just too nice to pass up.įor a PvE Nightblade, DBoS actually out performs FDB, even on live. So 5% weapon damage vs 2% weapon critical on an end game stamina build actually loses by quite a bit, the crit goes much farther and scales in strength with group buffs and character progression, while 5% weapon damage is capped in power based on your base weapon damage (it does not stack with other % gains!) FDB now only gives 5% weapon damage while slotted, but retains the 8% when you add the passive. Keep in mind that each Fighter's Guild ability now gives 3% weapon damage while slotted, so even DBoS has a gain to it. Soul Harvest offers 2% crit and 10 ulti on kill, which even the crit now out performs the weapon damage. Dawnbreaker of SmitingFor a PvE Nightblade, DBoS actually out performs FDB, even on live.
