I certainly dont think it's a "no-brainer".
The DB doesnt research that much better (in fact: 1 point), and I usually have at least 1 or 2 magic scales with Abysia; for the money, I find that 3 non-sacred WAs research much better than 2 sacred DBs.

You may like DBs more; and surely they are a fine unit, and I like them as well.
But I doubt that the choice between the DB and the WA (like almost ANY choice in Dom2) is a "no-brainer".
