Dusk Wrote:It's not +90 Power at low levels, but it scales, so it's effectively as good as +90 Power is at level 80. The damage is +50%, which is still a lot, considering buffs like "5 stacks of Might" are only about a 10% increase in damage (actual value depends on how much Power you have from Traits/Equipment). The entire point of the skill is to be applied on a Backstab or a <33% life Heartseeker, which are sizeable chunks of the overall damage output of a dagger mainhand Thief, so it doesn't really matter that it's only a single attack.
Five Stacks of Might over 10 seconds can effectively do a ton more damage than a single +50% hit if you use it right. But with the correct application of the Assassin's Signet with an Assassin can probably take out the remainder of someone's health. As always in Guild Wars, it's all about how you use it.
