== Description ==
−
'''Sinister Strike''' is a combat ability that deals your normal damage plus a number of extra points of damage which is determined by the rank. You must have a melee weapon to perform. With the [[Improved Sinister Strike]] talent, this move's relatively low [[energy]] cost coupled with its excellent damage make it one of the most important tools in the [[rogue|rogue's]] combat arsenal.
 
  +
Alright, I need you to help me find my dumpy level.
   
  +
What's that look for? That's right! I said my dumpy level! It's a piece of significant surveying equipment!
−
==Notes==
 
−
Unlike abilities such as [[Backstab]] or [[Gouge]], Sinister Strike can be used on any mob, in any position, in any combat state, and has no refresh rate beyond its [[energy]] requirement.
 
   
  +
I didn't name the bloody thing, alright? Go look it up! All I did was leave it on a rock long enough for one of those horrible oozes to swallow it up. The place is crawling with 'em, but one of them should still have it inside.
−
Must be facing your target, and you must have a melee weapon equipped (and not be "disarmed").
 
   
 
== Progress ==
−
*The 4 piece bonus of the [[Bonescythe Armor]] Set gives you 5 [[energy]] for every one of your Sinister Strike critical hits.
 
  +
Did you find the dumpy?
−
*The 6 piece bonus of the [[Bonescythe Armor]] Set reduces the threat generated from your Sinister Strike by 8%.
 
−
*The 4 piece bonus of the [[Slayer's Armor]] Set increases the damage of your Sinister Strike by 6%.

The basic Sinister Strike damage calculation formula:
 
  +
Oh good, it's undamaged! Thanks a lot.
−
[[Aggression]] = 1 + (0.02 * Aggression Rank)
 
−
[[Lethality]] = 0.06 * Lethality Rank
 
−
[[Surprise Attacks]] = 1 + (0.10 * Surprise Attacks)
 
−
Modifier = (Attack Power / 14) * Normalized Weapon Speed
 
−
Sinister Strike = (Weapon Damage + Modifier + Extra Damage) * Aggression * Surprise Attacks
 
−
Critical Sinister Strike = Sinister Strike * (2 + Lethality)

==Tips and tactics==
 
−
*Often abbreviated to 'SS'.
 
−
*Although positioning isn't a requirement for using Sinister Strike, it is still recommended that you try to position yourself behind the mob you are attacking, as attacks from behind cannot be blocked or parried.
 
−
*It is recommended that you use a weapon with the highest average damage that you can attain for your main hand when using Sinister Strike, as the damage from Sinister Strike is calculated from a range between your weapon's minimum and maximum damage.
