Testing out T.Bilethorn...

It's actually very interesting, and the implications are not quite straight-forward as I thought it might be.

The slow-effect of the power does apply, and when reaching multiple stacks (although the stack numbers are not shown... perhaps bug?), the slow is indeed, potent. The thing is, this slow effect only kicks in with the "additional poison damage after 4-sec effect)...

So it doesn't really help with immediate need for slows upon initiating your attack, but remains a factor and kicks in as you continue with your attack...

For example with my current attack pattern with WK/Scoundrel/OppDark it's:

(stealth) - CoS1 - CoS2 - CoS3 - CoS4 - (stealth about to peel) - VP1 - target dazed, (stealth peeled) - VP2 - target slowed - Dazing Strike - target dazed -- DF attack begins - slows from prior CoSs begin to kick in, and from this point all my prior attacks continue with extra poison damage + slows until my last attack, and then a little more than 4 seconds later after the last attack, the slow expires.

The slow debuff itself ends very quick.. I think less than even 2s...

Dunno if this is good or bad. LOL


Couldn't find a friend to test it out with, so all results are from in-combat testings and therefore open to mistakes or wrong observations.

    You will lack dmg to kill players at similar lvl. These kinda of enchants are good on a supports who dont have much money. For dps you should go:

    1. Vorpal
    2. Feytouched
    3. Terror
    4. Plague fire - TR have lot's of charges abilities, so you can keep the debuff from it all the time.

    No lack of damage for me so far. Unless it is premade level OP/DC, the rest can be dealt with at an adequate pace. The new scoundrel build really does wonders.

    Although the difference from the previous enchant I equipped -- T.Feytouched, I'm seeing a bit higher incoming damage.

    I really dont think you are going to lack damage with piercing.
    I like too much transcendent lifedrinker and it gives a more fair fight due to enchantment animation

    Well, not using LoL set and no Shadowy Opp, so whatever piercing I have comes from Opp Dark. It's pretty weak on its own, but satisfactory when combined with DF, I guess.

    LoL set gives higher dmg boost than most enchants, especially with perma stealth build, so if you can try to get it. Full set cost less than 2m.

    Are you using the Valindra set? 15/10 % control resist/control bunus seems pretty cool for your build, seeing as you are WK and using a lot of slows. Doubt it's as broken good as LoL, but its something.

    t.bile works great with duel flurry other then that its weak compared to other weapon enchantments.

    im a wk sab myself and having very hard time killing opponents doing pvp it might slow them and give some nice dot but most of the time i need some1 to help me kill the opponent. sadly selling it now is not worth it t.bile prices are low compared to other same lvl enchantments.
    :/
    regarding pve i guess its ok it does slow mob and do nice dot but again other same lvl enhancements will probably do much better.
