 * I *REALLY* don't think they're referencing anything with this skill.

Does anyone know if Blades of Steel counts itself as a recharging skill when doing its damage calculations? - Midnight08 12:09, 19 July 2006 (EST)
 * Most likely, as every other skill that requires recharging skills counts itself as one. Detraya fullvear
 * Just tested. Crits did 38 vs 60 AL target, and if BoS would NOT have included its own recharge would have had only +45 damage. I observed 88 damage on crits with BoS though. Ubermancer 12:23, 14 August 2006 (CDT)

Temporary update
This skill is leathal... oh so leathal now, stick it on a burst sin for a final 200+ damage combo on a 60-70 al target Wyvern Afini 14:36, 20 January 2007 (CST)
 * Yeah it's ridiculous how fast they can take out a caster. Overpowered, imo, but then again I like to play casters. -- Guttersnipe 22:20, 11 February 2007 (CST)

The beauty of this skill (or most assassin attacks) is that, since it's mostly bonus damage and not base damage, the difference between using this skill on a cloth wearer and on a warrior is only about 15 points or so. Zaq 22:29, 11 February 2007 (CST)

Actually my first comment was back when the damage was maximum +80, you can still strike for 200+, but now you need things to go smoothly such as getting criticals or hitting high with daggers during those two strikes Wyvern Afini 14:52, 14 February 2007 (CST)

The high damage is balanced in such a way that this skill has no utility besides it's high damage. Horns of the Ox for example have a very powerful side effect that can make it on par with this skill in the right situation, Twisting Fangs.. Well I don't think I really need to explain the utility on that one. --Esqu 01:40, 25 February 2007 (CST)

This is powerful but you need a reasonably long attack chain to do max damage. It's hard enough to pull of a combo without being distracting shot'd at the last second. The Hobo 02:31, 27 February 2007 (CST)

This skill makes me hate sins -_- P A R A S I T I C 22:24, 5 March 2007 (CST)

hits twice
I've noticed that this skill shows damage up twice above a foes head, and when i've had it used against me has shown up twice on my damage monitor, am sure critical hit chance for each hit is seperate tho, seing as they someth=imes do different amounts of damage, but both are high so it's not like one is the normal strike and the other is the bonus damage...  ~ Soqed Hozi ~  11:11, 10 March 2007 (CST)
 * This DUAL attack, like all dual attacks, always hits twice. [[Image:ShidoSig_moebius.gif]] 11:21, 10 March 2007 (CST)
