What is Sinister Strike in Azeroth Survivors?
Sinister Strike is the starting spell of the Rogue in Azeroth Survivors, a Physical spell cast about every 1 second before talents and gear.
How does Sinister Strike hit?
Sinister Strike is a fast melee blow with a 7-yard reach and a stored target count of 2. Its base interval is 1 second, the fastest of the nine starting spells, so it lands more often than anything else a class opens with. The cost is range: you have to be right next to an enemy, on the class with only 190 base health.
Where does Sinister Strike fit in the Rogue kit?
Every Rogue run starts with it unless you take Shadow Dance. The Combat tree is built around it, and the Assassination tree boosts it too, so most Rogue builds keep it as their main source of hits. Its speed also feeds talents that react to every swing, such as the Assassination milestone Deadly Poison.
Which talents change Sinister Strike?
Improved Sinister Strike and Aggression add damage, and Aggression boosts Eviscerate as well. The Combat milestone at 10 points, also named Blade Flurry, carries each Sinister Strike and Eviscerate hit on to two more enemies near the target. Do not mix it up with the Blade Flurry spell in the Rogue pool. Mutilate, the Assassination milestone at 20 points, makes Sinister Strike and Backstab strike a second time at once for 50% of the blow.
Killing Spree, the Combat capstone, adds a target to Sinister Strike and throws a free one every 3 seconds. Shadow Dance, the Subtlety capstone, does the opposite and replaces Sinister Strike with Backstab at the start of a run.
