Tainted Bond mechanical question(s) 08/21/2017 04:52 PM CDT

I think this is the appropriate spot..

I am fully bonded to my katana and it has a T5 permanent ensorcell on it. Before I fully bonded to it, I learned Tainted Bond

However.. I don't think I've seen it work just once or maybe it doesn't do what I think it is supposed to do (which I think is to possible second strike).

So.. am I right on my assumption? Does it work with Mstriking and ambushing?

Was I not supposed to have learnted Tainted Bond until I was fully bonded to the blade?

Sorry for the questions.. I'm just concerned and curious since I'm questioning if it was worth it since some folk told me it's awesome goodyness but atm I'm not convinced.

Tainted bond definitely works with mstrike and ambush. The +AS ensorcell buff should last for 2 swings instead of a single swing when trained. If you are not seeing that you may need to assist.

Yeah. That's all it does. Two swings of the +AS instead of ine

That makes more sense. So it's double the benefit and not an actual extra attack (double strike) that the wiki mislead me to believe. Still pretty cool :-)

Thank you for clarifying that.
