| − | '''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. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==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. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Must be facing your target, and you must have a melee weapon equipped (and not be "disarmed"). |
||
| − | |||
| − | *The 4 piece bonus of the [[Bonescythe Armor]] Set gives you 5 [[energy]] for every one of your Sinister Strike critical hits. |
||
| − | *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: |
||
| − | [[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) |

||
| − | *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. |
