Twin Blade and Blunt Bugged?

Preyfar

Twin Blade and Blunt is supposed to give swords a 2.5% damage increase -vs- daggers (which give crit boost when equipped). Pre 1.6, the weapons showed the additional damage on the icon AND when equipped. Currently, the damage rating of swords -vs- daggers is exactly the same, both on the item and when equipped, with Twin Blade and Blunt maxed. I get zero benefit from using a sword from Twin Blade and Blunt.

Is this a bug, or is there something I'm missing?

The value on the weapon is the weapon damage/spell damage stat, not the actual damage the item does. Assuming they mean 2.5% more actual damage, not the weapon damage stat, this is something that would be calculated on-the-fly. Try hitting the same mob, once with a sword and once with a dagger. Does the sword do more damage? Neither will do exactly 1108 damage. That 1108 is just a stat that gets worked in with max stamina and Champion Point passives and other things like that to determine how much damage you actually do with any attack.

While that explanation makes sense... how are you supposed to know if it's applying?
