How does Blade Clone function exactly?

Sorry for asking a noobish question.

I recently achieved lvl 150 on my Dual Blade and learnt Blade Clone.

MP -200, Duration: 60 sec, Bonus Damage: 140%, Cooldown: 90 sec

When it was mentioning 'Bonus Damage' I was expecting extra lines of damages.

But as I use my skill I don't see any extra lines of damages of number changes of damage.
I am not sure if it is working without showing, or I understood the function of skill wrong.....

So how does Blade Clone function exactly?

Thank you in advance

Blade clone is a final attack skill that procs 100% of the time.
Currently, the skill is still broken (final attack glitch around Unleashed patch - which was not fixed)...Blade clone does not proc 100% of the time.
Blade clone is suppose to add one extra line on the bottom and one other line from mirror image.

@ItzATrapp: yeah, I was actually very disappointed to find out DB and CS were the only explorers (now official) without specialized skills

Is the 10% added damage even noticeable?

Our Blade clone got the 10% dmg boost from the Gollux patch but none of the other skills have been affected as of yet. Dual Blades have to wait for Zero Patch if not the patch after to have the full buff we get (Which in all honesty is not much at all.

Sharp Slash Sharp Slash: effect and icon have been renewed
Dark Sight Dark Sight: you can now use Flash Jump while in Dark Sight, using Flash Jump will not cancel Dark Sight
Flash Jump Icon Flash Jump: existing Double Jump effect has been increased to Triple Jump (this means you can now use Flash Jump up to 2 times while in the air)
1st Job+ (Semi Dualer)

Tornado Spin Tornado Spin: now if linked with Flying Assaulter, monsters will be pushed forward properly
2nd Job (Dualer)

Karma Karma: Karma's attack buff will now stack with other attack buffs
2nd Job+ (Dual Master)

Flash Bang Flash Bang: now any monsters affected by Flash Bang will take 10% increased damage from all of Dual Blader's skills
3rd Job (Slasher)

Blade Ascension Effect

Blade Ascension NEW! Blade Ascension: Attack up to 6 enemies for 175% damage 3 times while rising into the air. This skill can be linked with level 10+ Flying Assaulter to create a quick and seamless attack. (max level: 20)
Bloody Storm Effect

Bloody Storm Bloody Storm: effect and icon have been renewed
4th Job (Dual Blader)

Blade Fury Effect

Blade Fury Blade Fury: range has been increased, effect and icon have been renewed

@FalenXangel o.o He's right. Check the skill description. It says Overall Damage Increase: 10%...
Why wouldn't they tell us ...

[quote=powerlad88]its final attack when you are facing an enemy. if the enemy dies it hits the next enemy or does nothing. its kinda weak but still use it for the 10% damage boost that was hiddenly updated to the skill. only reason its used is for the bonus damage.[/quote]

Works like a final attack skill. After you attack, there should be another number that pops up.
