Most Back Blow weapons are listed in the same manner as Focus SA weapons. It'll say something like "when attacking from behind, boosts critical by __".
However, the official website has a ~different~ description for the Bloody Orchid. Instead of listing it like the focus SA, it directly says the Backblow SA on a Bloody Orchid boosts critical by 37% from behind. What's up here? Is the Bloody Orchid a special case? Or is the description on the official website simply wrong?
focus on a dagger boosts crit by a lower amount than SA back blow on a dagger I thought.
The benefits of focus are crit is continually raised no matter your position in relation to the mob/character.
Back blow provides a greater bonus however if you manouver to atack from behind.
I understand how the SA works. What I'm asking is if the Back Blow SA on Bloody Orchid is in fact +37% and not a static boost like all of the other daggers. :)
It's read as, increases mortal strikes, and deadly blows from behind with a 37% increased chance.
it's a SA meant purely for dagger users. how ever IDK what BO says. and if it's not saying that for BO like it does for the Angel slayer then I'd call it a typo!
I know this cause I used a haste AS on the PTS, and the hero dagger has BB as a SA on it. so did the angel slayer when I read it's description about 30 times.
No gna.. taht 37% will never boost by 370 to crit attack, it will give the current crit bonus 37% bigger. So, if youd have 100 critical, hitting from behind will give you 137 critical.
You might be right, I just put it in L2 Calc and if you play around with numbers it pretty much just adds 37% to your critical chance, not increase it by 37% from behind, but that might be wrong. If you want to test it, find a Tyrant friend with Bison. Take them to 30% health, use Bison, and attack from behind, if you are right you shouldn't quite critical on every hit, but if it adds 37%, you should.

Actually, I am the author of l2calc and I had someone point out that l2calc was in error on the backblow. I am here posting to get information from someone who actually has the Bloody Orchid with backblow. Unfortunately, I have not gotten the answer to the question I'm trying to ask lol.
I appreciate those of you trying to help, but I already know very very well how back blow operates. There is no need to post what you think it does. =) I am only asking if Bloody Orchid is an exception, or if the official website's description is incorrect.
