This is another post for drk BGwiki source material. I couldn't find definitive testing that explained if the job point Weaponskill damage bonus gift for DRK applied to all hits or if it was like gear and only the first hit. I also didn't see anything on whether Endark II stacked with WS or not. So I went DRK/WAR and killed flamingo in sky using a lvl 1 Bronze Zaghnal and trusts+Last resort to attack cap. TLDR: WSDB JPgift applies only to the first hit of a WS and Endark II does not stack with WS.
First thing I did was make sure I was fSTR and attack capped.
Calculated melee range = (14+9)*4.5*1~1.05 = 103-108
Actual melee range = 103-108 (verified with about 100 swings)
Then I did a bunch of guillotine tracking the #of hits with 0 job points. 2k+ Attack / 266 STR / 184 MND & no pdl+ or WSDB+ equipment.
Calculated range = (14+9+171)*4.5*0.875*1~1.05+(14+9+171)*4.5*3*1~1.05 = 3,424-3,593
Actual Range of 17 WS (4 hit)= 3,427 to 3,526
Actual Average = 3,467
Then I went out and got my first 500 job points on DRK… terrible experience after coming back to the game.
Then I did a bunch of guillotine again with the same exact gear.
New Range of 18WS (4 hit) = 3,456-3,551
New Avg = 3,497
If the WSDB applied to all hits we should see roughly a 4% increase but if it only applied to the first then we would see a 0.90% increase since the first swing is 0.875 ftp and not 1 ftp [(0.875*1.04+3)/(3.875)].
Actual increase was 3,497/3,467 = 0.86%
I compared the 5 hit data from doubleattack procs I got and it followed the same trend.
Then I casted Endark II and did a Guillotine, then casted fresh and repeated. My Dark magic skill wasn't capped so my first proc for endark II was 93dmg so I would expect my guillotines to be 93+92+91+90 = 366 dmg higher on avg.
Unfortunately my guillotine dmg barely changed at all.
New Avg with Endark II = 3,502
