Incredible talk about LethalityFollow

Theo you can have at this, as I stay away from the math portion of the game, but give this a read.

Brief synapsis:

5/5 lethality is anywhere from 1%-6% dps increase in PVE and 1%-3% increase in PVP(against 400resil targets).

Basically, point for point, Murder is going to always be better than putting a point in Lethality (and for PVP you don't really need it at all according to this).

If you run a Sinister Strike build, Lethality will help you recieve bigger crits, but the total amount of extra damage given may not be worth the 5 point investment.

Well, The post date is Oct 8, 2007.

So not even a year old yet.


But if the math is all still the same and nothing has changed, this would still hold true, no?

Never put much thought into it. I always assumed 5/5 was worth getting but having Imp EA would outweight 2 points.


I would have never thought you could be just as well off spending those 5 points elsewhere.

Isn't Improved EA a duration increase instead of a 50% boost in effect now?
Could've sworn I saw that somewhere.

And Murder is deep in Assassination now >_>
