The new Fan of Knives.Follow

um... I do about 2500-3k on trash in naxx as mute without fok. Thats in 10man... It's nice for killing the adds in ZG when doing ZG mount runs, and the snakes before first boss in Gundrak. Not all that great tbh, but its a cute little aoe i guess.

The FoK change is pretty sweet.

Heroic Naxx last night saw me at top dps/dmg done on AoE pulls (we pull 2-3 groups every pull) just by spamming FoK and Auto attacking the big guys with SnD up. I had Spriests and locks asking WTF.

Aside from that and 2 FoK on Sarth Tenebron adds when goin to the portals is pretty good too.

I cant say other wise if it helped dps anywhere else as I switched to Mut for the first time last night to try it out. And its a little funner then combat IMO but until I get the rotation down pat and remember to keep HfB during downtime I've dropped about 200 dps on boss fights as a general rule.

My friend fierymoon ran a dungeon today and said she loved it. I got to see her use it as she wanted to see how fast she could clear vc by just purely doing FOK. Was pretty cool to look at. Looks like it poisons them as well. :D noooiiiice

The improved damage with daggers is nice and with no stupid CD it makes Rogues a little more useful on certain trash pulls (like those retarded little spider pats in the Arachnid Quarter of Naxx). It's still not that useful even when that's ALL you're doing (because trying to white damage those little spiders is pointless and annoying). It's certainly a lot better than it used to be at any rate, but I'll still probably never really use it.

To the poster above, Fan of Knives has always had a chance to proc poisons. I suppose depending on the number of targets, your poison choices, and your talents it can be a nice little padding on your DPS during AoE pulls, but it's an additional effect that isn't as good as it first sounds.

I never personally use Feint unless I'm getting high on Threat and Vanish is down or can't be used (and if I do have to use it I question why the tank is losing threat to me in the first place). If you have threat issues it's probably a better idea to use TotT on the tank and go ******* for a few seconds, but if the tank is that bad you're probably going to 1) not change anything or 2) pull hate again almost immediately. I guess the new reduced AoE effect might be useful in some situations if you're specced deep into Sub, but it's always going to be a better idea to just move out of AoE range anyway instead of sitting there and trying to absorb it.

One example does come to mind though: during the Skadi fight when he decides to Whirlwind towards you and your tank isn't smart enough to taunt him. The new Feint effect might shave off enough damage to help you get out of range alive. I still can't stand the fight period, but that's a different thread all together.

The new changes are fantastic. No cooldown, daggers do more damage... It's practically spammable on large groups as Mutilate spec because of Focused Attacks. Every crit gives back 2 energy, so it's possible to have 20+ energy refunded. I usually just auto-attack one mob to get more energy procs.

It's very handy now in PvP, it can be spammed to kill a Mages triplets, DK's army of dead, the bloodworms & snake pets, to knock others out of stealth, the list goes on, it's great!
