The previously posted forum info was:
CB: 2.5 (100%), 2.0 (75%), 1.6 (50%), 1.2 (20%)
SS: 1.6 (100%), 2.0 (75%), 2.4 (50%), 2.6 (25%)
Here's the data charted out (see attached).
You'll notice that battles start with full faculty (on the right) and move left over the battle. Not only does SS have an advantage in the max damage level (approaches 2.75 cd at 0%), it also does so in mid battle to the end when strong pops can mean a win vs loss. C&B on the other hand would be a decent alternative if it didn't suicide troops.
Looking at these curves I'd assume that Armored Charge (a 2.2 fixed cd) or Soul Taking Arrows (2.0) would have more net effect on most battles compared to C&B.
Hopfully the crash and burn buff will fix its weaknesses. A 15% loss instead of 50%, and a small bump to the CD (say 2.8 max similar to SS) would be in order IMO.
I'd be interested to see the damage curve for continuous C&B and continuous SS laid over top of this data. I assume, like most continous BMs, that the damage is lower than their "pure spirit" BM versions... anyone have a Annubis-Hera double bomber BR? giving them the same faculty and stats could be possible... that'd make it real interesting.
