Unless the hidden piercing mod remains active when worn below Lv54, then no. But since you have a pair already, why don't you go test it?

Don't forget that your weaponskills will still be blunt damage.

Try a fight and let me know how well it works. I have a whm and mnk that could do some fights with my DRG.

Honestly, if I'm not mistaken, that hidden effect of being piercing is only active at lvl 54 and above. Therefore, I can't think of any BCNMs where Birdsbane would be viable; however, Birdsbane is somewhat viable on the Puk ISNM300 if I'm not mistaken.

I haven't done any tests on this though. The best thing for you to do is probably ask Vegetto. He probably has done quite a bit of testing with Birdbanes and could give you a much better answer then I could.

Used these the other day in a e ronfaure colibri pt and I'm pretty sure the piercing is still active. Didn't do extensive testing or anything but the dmg was noticeably higher than a lvl appropriate weapon.

Celery can also be done with Birdbanes if you choose Punctured Percy.
