    one would have to check the damage of both skills on the pts and compare.

    damage / time it takes to do the damage / skill cost / skill line passives.

    What morph are you asking about? shrouded or flying?

    I reckon shrouded daggers would be the morph I choose. The reason I wish to replace biting jabs is the animation. I'm really just sick and tired of it and with the proposed changes to the buff biting jabs gives going to major brutality (increased weapon damage) in which shrouded daggers also gives - I'm really looking forward to replacing it.

    I'm okay with a loss of a few k dps as long as it is still viable for end game content.

    Thanks for your feedback.

    I'm not following exactly. They're very different skills. edit: Even if the major buff is no longer different.

    Are you asking what the damage loss would be if you made your spammable the new Hidden Blade on PTS instead of using the new Biting Jabs?

    Honestly, how can you not follow? It's a really simple question mate. Will hidden blade (shrouded daggers) be a viable option to replace biting jabs as a spammable when the new patch goes live? I don't know if it will be a damage +/-. As I said previously, I'm okay with a slight dps loss. As long as it's viable. Will it be viable? Does anyone know?

    At first I wanted to say Jabs is better, but I think a case can be made for Hidden Blade. You can get Major Savagery from Camo Hunter slotted on the same bar with the Blade and get Major Brutality. The only thing Jabs has over Blade is the AOE and the lower skill cost, but without Major Brutality.

    Jabs gets major brutality next patch which replaces major savagery.

    Ohhhh, thank you for that. Well then I would run Jabs over Hidden Blade. Not worth the extra cost

    will probably be bigger than a few k, if you do some tests let me know
