Sword dancer 5 pc adds 434 weapon dmg to DW abities .

Do heavy attacks count ? Thanks

And i would test but last time i tried it was so annoying my infused enchant kept on proccing it and it always matched the number of the heavy attack that popped up so i could never tell which number was what smh .

Would love to know im running 5 night mother 5 sword dancer 2 storm fist on stam sorc and i do heavy attack in between each ability with no spam ability. Also open to tips i did 35k parse with this set up

DW Bar
1. Bound armaments
2. Razor Caltops
3. Deadly Cloak
4. Twin Slashes morph
5. Rearming Trap
6. Ult Dawnbreaker
Bow Bar
1. Poison injection
2. Endless hail
3. Hurricane
4. Bound armaments
5. Vigor
6. Ult Dawnbreaker

The reason i dont use spam is because by the time i get to my spam ability after heavy attacking in between each abilities most of my dots are done and need to be reapplied so with the rotation i do its pretty easy and fluid.

Would also like to know if automaton boosts heavy attacks does anybody know?

    Both sets should boost heavy attacks. Someone did a test with a similar magicka set, Spider Cultist and found out it also boosted staff LA/HA. The devs confirmed this was intended so I guess Sword Singer should work the same way.

    Don't have the set, so cant tell about sword dancer, would really like to know.

    But I can safely say that automaton does boost HA as the damage is physical, it will however not boost poison and disease, haven't checked bleed though, it's supposed to be boosted as bleed is also physical with DoT.

    The weapon damage from sword dancer wont show up in the character menu, but it would be evident by the tooltip of DW abilities.

    Yes the damage will be very good indeed.

    Well, this has been a very informative thread. :) I was wondering the same for my stam warden. Not sure what sets to go with for heavy attack build. This helped.
