Has excruciating blow been nerfed or there is something wrong with it ?
I tought it is supp to weaken opponent defence ?

Your brutal backstab causes a visitor to writhe in agony, opening up his defenses!

You pierce a visitor extremely hard.

I think I scored double damage once today by attacking right after a brutal... but it didn't last the usual 2-3 rounds. I think the effect was gone before the first full round of combat.

It used to last through two full rounds.
