What difficulty are you doing? The only BP I've found that is reliable on Difficult is Night Terror, usually 1k.

Remember that time you had us all do difficult. Not good.

Stick to merited BPs only... like heavenly strike... I was consistently doing 2K+ . DO not use physical BPs.

Depends on difficulty tier, of course. On VD, merited BPs barely break 100, while I can get Pred Claws and Spinning Dive over 1k (if they hit), or get a consistent 500-600 from Night Terror.

And yes, only Normal and Diff mentioned so far, but figured I'd drop in what I've seen on VD.

Did VD EV, and Night Terror was doing 690-900, magic burst for 1300+. It was definitely the most consistent damage, I'm guessing AAs must be light-based? They seem more dark-natured to me, but I guess they are "angels."

Pred Claws & Chaotic Strike would do about 1k damage half the time, and miss completely the other half. I did have one Chaotic Strike for a little over 2k, but even so, physical BPs averaged lower than Night Terror because of all the misses. Spinning Dive and Mountain Buster also missed. Flaming Crush did something like 200 damage. Did not try Rush.

Merit BPs did about 250 damage. Lunar Bay did about 450-500, if I remember correctly.

Edit: Also, Pred Claws during Feint seemed to be a bit better at ~1400 damage. It's possible that Pred Claws will surpass Night Terror with a few future pet:acc pieces, like perhaps reforged relic hands and/or some form of pet:acc from the 119 Hagondes set.
