 * I *REALLY* don't think they're referencing anything with this skill.
 * I have that game. hahaha--Coloneh [[Image:Coloneh.png]] 17:03, 15 October 2006 (CDT)

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)
