Why Murder?Follow

#1 Dec 21 2007 at 12:30 PM Rating: Decent
Why do most Assassination spec's have Murder? It seems like those two points could be spent in a much better place (Imp. KS anyone?). Maybe I am just crazy but the math doesn't seem to work out for me:

Murder: 2% dmg increase against a few mobs. Thats 2 extra dmg per 100 dmg. Only for the rogue.

Imp KS: (3 talent points) 9% dmg increase for everyone while stunned, and the tank takes no dmg while the mob is stunned. Not a whole lot, but more that 2%

Here is my talent build: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/classes/rogue/talents.html?2053001055021325010513203022000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Let me know what you think.

It looks like you swapped 2 points in murder for 2 points in imp Eviscerate, Instead of 2 points in murder for 3 points in imp KS...

Just saying.

well lets put it this way

2/3 imp ks = 6% during KS
2/2 murder = 2% all the time


if you ONLY do 5pt KS's and you do them as often as humanly possible

its 6% bonus every 6 seconds in a 20 second period
thats a average of 1.8% increase

while murder is flat 2% increase (better yield for 2 points) and is usable in most raid situations

and considering some people just arent fans of imp evis, its really worth the 2 points

imp ks = better for pvp
murder = better overall

Y'know, it might be worth it to spend a couple extra points and grab both. I think thats what I did when I went muti.

Kidney Shot can be trinketed (and usually is), and many mobs are just immune to stun. In a PvE environment, there are very few cases that you can use KS and not be called a dumbass.

Murder is just plain better.

well for combo swords pve its generally picked up over impiserate, because you dont evis much at all in raids. so 2% damage increase stacked with the other % damage increase talents really adds up.
