As I said in your other post, from what I've understood of FA with brandish is that yes, it does more damage on the hit but the time FA takes make your brandish slower which mean that the overall DPM (damage per minute) will be lower. As for slash blast, which is a mobbing skill, having a random hit coming out from time to time kinda break your mobs, so I'm not sure if it's the best. Which leaves power strike which is probably the only one that get better then FA. But I can't be 100% sure of anything I said above, those are my suppositions. EDIT: @ Above: Maybe it does, as I said I can't be 100% sure of what I said... I might as well leave out rage and max FA just to test. Anyway I'm funded so idc about warrior elixir, it's barely few mils for lot of hours.

Its proven to improve Brandish's DPM at low lvl Brandish, but not after its maxed. I can show you the math if you really want. But the standard build is to max Brandish at once when you reach lvl 100. So FA it does lower the DPM.

Brandish + FA does increase the DPM on single target like a BOSS, it will slow you down when training, DONT listen to her.

DPM=damage per minute. with FA, brandish is slowed down because of the extra attack. the attack does increase damage on a single usage of brandish, but it requires more time to cast, and the damage increase is not that much when considering the time it tales to add that extra attack. in 1 minute, with FA, your character would do less damage than another dawn warrior with the exact same equips that was not using FA, because they could use brandish more times, about 3 for every 2 you use it. the FA is not really that strong compared to brandish's attacks, so it is not worth it

Not every Dawn Warrior has his eyes on Brandish. That, and FA is an active cast so you might as well switch it off if you plan on using Brandish.
