Necrotic Strike is a new death knight ability that comes with Cataclysm, learned at level 83. It was first announced in the Cataclysm death knight preview.

Necrotic Strike deals weapon damage and applies a debuff that absorbs an amount of healing based on the damage done. "For context, imagine that the death knight can choose between doing 8,000 damage outright with a certain ability, or dealing 6,000 damage and absorbing 4,000 points in incoming heals with Necrotic Strike -- the burst is smaller, but a larger overall amount of healing would be required to bring the target back to full health."

This ability is meant to bring back some of the old flavor from when death knights could dispel heal-over-time (HoT) effects. It also gives the class a bit more PvP utility without simply replicating a [Mortal Strike]-style effect.

Patch changes

Patch 4.0.6 (2011-02-08): Absorption effect is now reduced by the target's resilience. In addition, its debuff duration has been reduced to 10 seconds, down from 15.
