Does this skill actually do anything wortwhile? I wanted to test to see what kind of damage increase it has and while I don't have pages and pages of results, it's a buff so there should be some kind of noticeable effect right?

Anyway, vs a dodo my own rank (37) I decided to test the effect of blindside on concussion blow and flurry (since 1 hit vs 3 hit, tp move vs regular move). Tested all these on the same mob via running away from it and letting it reheal itself.

Without blindside;
Flurry = 118, 130, 111
Concussion blow = 556

With blindside;
Flurry = 136, 122, 129
Concussion blow = 582

So there *is* a damage increase. I should note I took even the non blindside data from behind the mob since I think it increases damage? Anywho. I wanted to compare this to Archer's "Raging Strike" ability (note I don't have the archer +affinity ability yet)

With raging strike;
Flurry = 129, 150, 136
Concussion blow = 631

I understand the whole "you have to stand behind the mob" and each time I used the correct buff, went into passive mode, lined up and initiated the attack unengaged so there can't have been any placement issues (I also repeated this a couple of times for each thing and the results were the same save for like a 5 damage difference)

I'd also like to point out I use a mainly dex build and I was using blindside not blindside II (because I don't have it yet).

So is there a way to get a lot more out of Blindside or is it in need of a serious buff? Also I know there'll probably be a "stack both" reply but looking at this I can't honestly say it's worth messing around to position yourself to use blindside. Maybe it's worthwhile with follow through? I don't know.
