Not sure if the hard numbers were released, but felt like close to master damage.
Also not sure if it works on all DS or only on trollocs.

If it's coded like master damage, it should work on stab/charge as well.

I don't remember how much it was, but it's less than master damage. Also, it goes away at rank 7, and doesn't stack with master damage. It's also all DS, not just trollocs.

It used to be crazy good because the extra BG damage used to ignore armor, way back when.

Ward weapon damage actually used to be after armor too. Think Lunda turned that in.

I remember being told (a) oh its not that much - bullcrap, the day I ranked I killed camp before and after and I thought the add on was amazing (b) or its a 50% add-on - which I think knowing what we know now about how the game works is probably not the case. I strongly suspect much like postures its just some sort of dice add on. Went through the Lancer forum trying to see if it was spelled out anywhere, but no luck.

Forever ago I was rank 6 with a heron long facing Darqal who was a Dhai'mon master with a heron. We were both essentially in identical kits. My memory at the time (cause I remember thinking - hrm, wonder how rank 6 stacks up against master) was we were incredibly well matched - basically both hammering the crap out of each other.
