Conclusion: Exploit gains 45-60 points of PvE max damage, and 4-15 points of PvP max Damage.

hmm interesting there dreven, not as big of a difference as I would have predicted, but its still a 100% increase over your example. Again, I must bring up the special moves multipliers.. that extra 15 pvp damage turns into an extra 120-135 with last ditch. That is a huge difference in dps.

How can you say that you do not know if it is an exploit or not?

Game mechanics tells you that you may not slice a weapon with a powerup. You must remove the powerup to slice the weapon, so putting a powerup on DURING slicing is considered against game mechanics.

It is an exploit, there is no need for an official statement.

This is an exploit.

Not to mention, if it only effects 2 of 4 possible slice outcomes, and it negatively impacts 1 of the 2 it does effect…shouldn't that tell you something?
