Additionally, you can see Final Attack triggering. Like Dawn Warriors, it is near instant. It can only trigger once every attack, not every hit. This means that Brandish can do 220% x2 + 150% and Brave Slash can do 170% x3 + 150% at a 40% chance. If the two attacks are the same speed, then Brave Slash is definitely better. There is also one shot where Rush triggers Final Attack. Again, it is almost instant. It's a shame how Final Attack works now since Paladins get the short end a bit with Blast only hitting once. Final Attack definitely got a nerf, and without seeing earlier attacks (ex. Power Strike), it's hard to say if it's instant now or not. The last thing to note is that he is level 120 (121 when he level) and Birks are 114. He's taking between 20 and 50 damage with Iron Body. Defense totally worth it now?

I'm a bit disapointed with that video. I actually do notice Brave slash being slower than Brandish, though with a normal speed sword the difference doesn't seem that huge.
Also disapointed in how FA works )= Since Brandish would be better than Brave slash on bosses if BS is slower. And he still seems to take ~500 physical dmg with PG, but only 20-70 magic damage.
