Death Blossom viable without condition damage
Its completely situational, and still can do a lot of damage if your up against a group, especially when combined with quickness.
Using it in a 1v1 or 1v2 tho is pretty much a waste of initiative.
Not worth it. The base damage is so minimal that it won’t make a difference. In full berserkers you might reach low 2000’s, that plus 1.5k bleeds is just terrible for 5 ini (that’s like 1 Lotus Strike crit lol).
I mean, against a large group maybe it’s worthwhile, but that’s what Shortbow is for.
Even in groups, it’s terrible. Stick to doing what D/D does best with DPS builds: single target. Trying to use DB to deal damage is a waste of initiative and time. You’d be better off using your burst on one target, taking them down, then moving on to the next.
