Brothers of Arms

[Gert]

Something that is often overlooked is using Dark Hand for some damage...I have it feated for increased splash damage but the following testing looks at Dark Hand and other feats/combos that improve it (directly or indirectly).

All tests were done on Live, against a straw dummy and with Gert's current gear:

Dark Hand: 353 unholy damage
Dark Hand + Unhallowed Blight debuff: 390 unholy damage (~ +10%)
Dark Hand + Drain Strength debuff: 465 unholy damage (~ +30%)
Dark Hand + Unhallowed Blight debuff + Drain Strength debuff: 513 unholy damage (~ +45%)

so it's worth get that UB debuff on, and Drain Strength debuff does give a nice boost - roughly 45% increase in damage. Given a decent magic life tap, that's a good boost to the Dark Hand heal as well.

I'll try and get some tests done on proper mobs

Best I've gotten so far from a mini-boss in Poitain:

[15:43] Your Dark Hand crits Argus the Thief for 775 unholy damage.

That was with UB and DS up as well
