Edit: disregard, obviously out of date

So, surprise attacks might not work the same as you read it.

Yes, backstab is increased both through the % of weapon damage, and additional damage.

However, sinister strike is not a *direct* 8% damage upgrade. Instead, your bonus damage on sinister strike is increased, not the total damage (if it was 100, for example, it'd go up to 108).

Keep this in mind if you are thinking of speccing in to it.

Two things of note: Only finishing moves benefit from the "Cannot be dodged" bonus now, and the damage bonus was raised to 10%. Honestly, this talent doesn't really make a whole lot of sense as is.

With this talent, you can shiv for combo points(it will ALWAYS apply that poison, therefore it cannot miss, parry or be dodged) and KS (can only be parried if you have precision, and you have it right?) and KS means you will always hit(at least your yellow hits) stomps the uncertainty that your KS will be dodged. +10% damage is just icing on this talent.

The power behind this skill can be looked at in two ways.

In PvE - The damage bonus is readily welcome, it's almost 10% more damage to everything you do, Sinister, Backstab.

In PvP - Cannot be dodged. Have a rogue on you while you're farming? He blows Evasion? Kidney shot right through it. Hunters have a lot of agility too (Aspect of the Monkey, iirc), deterrence, jump behind him and KS right through it. Druids in bear form, cannot parry and cannot block, but have insanely high levels of dodge, KS right through it.

This ability almost rivals Quick Recovery in effectiveness, one refunds you 28 energy whenever your finishing moves miss/parried/dodged, this ability removes dodge from the equation. Being a 41 point skill in combat, you would have precision, so if you have a decent idea how to PvE with your rogue missing is inexcusable. What's left is Parrying and that is simply rare (I also do not believe I have seen a mob that can parry from the back, but I could be wrong).

There is a lot of reason to love this talent, and I personally am using it right now.

SUrprise, surprise...GOTCHA!

Doesn't this somewhat devaluate weapon expertise given in the same talent tree? Seems kinda odd.

I guess it still has a very positive effect on your dps allowing you to focus on different stats.

Commento di Philes

It may be rather unspectacular, but for only 1 point you get a lot of utility (and no more lost energy/time from finisher miss) and a damage bump.

It's not as amazing as other 41 point talents, but it's better than a stick in the eye! Especially if that stick can't miss!

Commento di NMMRG

Any decent combat rogue will have 26 expertise including "Weapon Expertise". That will insure that no attacks be dodged from behind and leave around a 5.5% chance of parry if, for some reason, attacking in front (like on Heigan fights). The ONLY benefit you would get from this skill in pve (assuming you're not undergeared) is the 10% dmg bonus. In pvp, it is much more useful.

Commento di 111622

Your attacks can still be parried however. But the 10% Damage increase is the only thing making this worth getting.

Commento di Thottbot

Not a great 41 point talent IMO. Would be good if it were a 21 point talent, but to go 41 points into combat for this? Not really worth it IMO. Its nice, dont get me wrong, but not a good 41 point talent. Even though Im combat I will probably put 40 points into that tree and then 21 into assassination or subtlety for cold blood or preparation.
