[[Sinister Strike]] is a Rogue ability, one of the two that a Rogue starts with at level 1, the other being Eviscerate. It is an instant attack using the main-hand weapon, and adds X damage. It currently comes in 8 ranks, as follows:

Before we get too worried about the Sinister Strike formula, it is important to understand the basic damage formula.
 
   
 
== Reward ==
−
* All of the following formula will have to be done twice, using minimum weapon damage once, and maximum weapon damage in order to determine the damage range. Alternatively you could use the average between the two to determine your average Sinister Strike damage.

You will receive {{cost||6|}}

This is the basic "White Attack" formula, which is the basis for the Sinister Strike formula.

You'll notice that the "Weapon Speed" is substituted by "Normalized Weapon Speed" because we're dealing with an instant attack.

We mustn't forget that there are two Rogue talents that affect the amount of damage done by Sinister Strike.

=== Lethality ===

With the full 5 talent points, [[Lethality]] "Increases the critical strike damage bonus of your Sinister Strike, Gouge, Backstab, Ambush, Ghostly Strike, or Hemorrhage ability by 30%."

With the full 3 talent points, [[Aggression]] "Increases the damage of your Sinister Strike and Eviscerate abilities by 6%."

==== Normal Hit ====
 
−
[(Attack Power / 14) * Normalized Weapon Speed + Weapon Damage + 68] <b>* 1.06</b> = Damage
 
−
<i>The Sinister Strike damage is now multiplied by 106%(1.06 in decimal) to add in the bonus from Aggression.</i>

−
==== Critical Hit ====
 
−
([(Attack Power / 14) * Normalized Weapon Speed + Weapon Damage + 68] * 1.06) * 2 = Damage

−
([(Attack Power / 14) * Normalized Weapon Speed + Weapon Damage + 68] * 1.06) * 2.3 = Damage

All examples are done with 700 Attack Power and a {{lepic|Brutality Blade}} using the Max damage.
