I’m stealing that name.
I also only play Ethical Sister whenever I want to play her because I find no interest in playing her OP version ; and even then I feel I’m playing in another league.
I was giving the ‘optimal dps’ scenario ; and most of the damage comes from the bloodrazor ticks and the Moonbow’s raw damage, more than the crits at least.
Does the S&D push attack ‘ignore’ shields like a flail does ? In my experience the push exposes the rat and the stab stabs them in the face, but that’s not much ‘ignoring shields’ than being fast enough to exploit the opening from the push. Greatsword also ‘ignores’ shields in that regard.
If the stab literally ignores the shield, there is a problem in my book.
