Use a charge if you want same dmg add like theurs provide.
And i'm sure our Mercs would like a 9 sec stun too.
Level: 18
Prerequisite: To side of target
Attack: Medium Bonus
Defense: None
Fatigue Cost: Medium
Damage: High
Effect: Stunned
Stuns the target for a brief period of time.
Resist type: N/A
Duration: 4 seconds
Blunt Devastating blow 10 sec is second of parry, compared to 6 sec second in anytime stun crush mercs get.
Actually growth rates are quite similiar for both mercs and bms. BM has better side chain, merc has better front/back styles. Dunno where you got idea about bms having better damage output.
i bow before your great knowledge of hibernia and albion Aussie
