Performed in Riverhaven swampies with 155 ME, no other spells or buffs active, COTC maintained at 20 mana casts for 250 strikes, then without for another 250 (about 100 trolls altogether.) Wall rank on ME, so there was insignificant variation during the test.

Severity ranking verified by Ssra, and I've assigned values to each a la Soim, et al, to determine the average power. I know they're ranges, but this is simply for statistical comparison, and I have a large enough sample to provide a reasonable assertion.

34% increase in power and greater chance to hit looks like a pretty darn sweet buff to me =)

Great testing, verifies what I've been seeing in regular use of it since it was released. Next time I get by a guild I'm going to go ahead and learn this spell permanently I really like it alot. Now if I can just get my magic skills up so I can make it last longer heh. Thanks to Team Ranger for a great release.

Thanks for the testing. It might be worth using 2 spell slots for those of us who have trouble with killing things fast enough. Ponders about Bristle Back Peccaries.
