Does Blade Fury Work on Backstab?

Hotfix #5 had me fiending for some Thunder dmg bonus'd multihits, except I want to use shadestepper Cata with backstab (why increase angle req?) and wynnbuilder doesn't seem to update backstab's dmg when I click it on the skill tree.

...I tried to run some tests on training dummy but Cata's big dmg range means I gotta do hella trials, which I don't want to do. But in the few that I did I did not see an increase in dmg

But since unlocking backstab doesn't lock me out of blade fury, I'm assuming it does impact backstab's dmg. I'm wondering if anyone knows whether this is a)wynnbuilder missed this or b)devs made a new feature where they forgot to lock blade fury from backstab

Also Idk blade fury just sounds like it'd be incompatible with backstab

 

Try again with it

 

This makes it easier to land backstab

I'm gonna guess Blade Fury doesn't do anything since it's intended for Multihit, dealing extra damage per hit, whereas Backstab is not Multihit.

Just keep in mind just because two abilities can be unlocked doesn't mean they're compatible. A good example of this is Ophanim, Burning Sigil, and Stronger Meteor. You can unlock all of these together, but Burning Sigil and Stronger Meteor will not increase Ophanim's damage. As to why they're not locked, my guess is because it would effectively lock Lightbender out of Arcanist (why you would be running Light Bender Arcanist though is the more important question). But I think generally a lot of abilities don't lock each other out just for customization purposes

 

that's unfortunate :w

Oh I thought increase angle req from 60 to 70 meant my multihit has to be 70 to 90 degrees to the back of the hitbox... what's it doing instead?

 

Think it's the opposite of what you described (as in 0-70, not 70-90. (I will admit I do not know how the hitbox works) but this is how I imagine it working based on my experience

 

mmok thx
