Dug out my old Dragons Dogma Vanilla version and did some testing with DF Golden Stillettos, 3 Star Rusted Daggers and 2 Star Scalding Razors. Unfortunately I'm unable to test Aneled Daggers as my friend still has my DA copy.

One thing that I noticed when doing these tests, is that Dazzle Blast does indeed cause damage as stated by Karathrax. I tested this on the oxen outside Gran Soren and killed them ONLY using dazzle blast and nothing else. However, the weird thing with the oxen is that they did not get stunned. Even when I was pelting them with dazzle blast, they would still charge through it and knock me down. Also - the strength of your daggers seem to effect how much damage is dealt.

DF GOLDEN STILLETTOS/3 STAR RUSTED DAGGERS:

Both of these daggers inflicted silence/poison/topor in 1 or 2 dazzle blast's when the oxen was unaware. When the oxen was aggro, it took a lot more dazzle blast's to activate the debilitation.

2 STAR SCALDING RAZORS:

Took a long time to set the oxen on fire with dazzle blast. It worked a lot faster when I threw an oil flask at them and they were set a blaze in fewer dazzle blast's.

With this in mind, I equipped the DF Golden Stilletto, threw an oil flask at the oxen where it became tarred, then proceeded to spam dazzle blast to see if it would take double damage (being tarred deals double damage from fire skills/weapons).

The oxen did seem to go down in less dazzle blast's, but I cant be sure as my aiming isn't particularly great when using this skill. A thing to note is that hey were not set on fire.

SOooo - I'm not to sure if the damage dealt is actually fire damage as the oxen were only set on fire with scalding razors and not the other two. I would like to see some tests with the tarring effect on Aneled Daggers to see if the result is the same as golden and rusted, in that the oxen doesn't get the burning status.
