Perfect Balance: TwS or DK?

[MrDiezel]

you better off doin true strike or bootshine while doin PB. it depend but i feel like after 2.1, TS does more damage than SP. and with the malee buff BS also give you good option.

Im not using Snap Punch for its power, but for the Greased Lightning stacks (when using Perfect Balance)


On another note, nobody has yet to answer the question of which is more beneficial between +10% damage or -10% Blunt resistance

Maybe i'm dumb but since Mnk's deal Blunt damage doesn't -10% Blunt resistance = +10% mnk damage?

Did a quick test in Whitebrim.

Out of 20 Bootshines with no buffs up I got an average of 188 damage.

20 Bootshines with Dragon kick buff, I got an average of 207 damage.

EDIT: Tried with both DK and TwS up, got an average of 226 damage. I guess both are as beneficial as each other?

im tring to see between +10% damage and -10% blunt damage, which is better depending on enemy. Lets say im hitting bootshine (no buffs) for 400 solid damage. With +10% damage, its 440.

On the other hand, if im dealing 400 Bootshine ( no buffs, and my enemy has a total of 400 Blunt Resistance (i dont think thats real number for resistance in this game), Dragon Kick takes Resistance down to 360, which (and this is what im not sure of) would result in me doing 40 extra damage, for a total of 440 Bootshine? im just not sure how those numbers scale
