  • Critical strike chance of your next damaging ability increased by 100%.

Cold Blood is a rogue class talent. When used, it generates 25 energy and increases the critical strike chance of the next offensive ability by 100%.

Notes[]

  • It is still possible for the Cold Blood-modified attack to be dodged, parried, blocked, or miss; in this situation the Cold Blood buff will not be lost, and will still apply to the next special attack.
  • Like all "on next attack" abilities, Cold Blood does NOT activate the global cooldown, and can thus be bound to a macro with another ability.
  • While Cold Blood is active, the Rogue's right hand will have a blue aura emitting snow crystals around it.

Trivia[]
