  • Cold Blood
  • Critical strike chance of your next offensive ability increased by 100%.

Cold Blood is available as a talent in the Assassination tree. It increases the critical strike chance of the next offensive ability by 100%. However, it is still possible for the cold blood attack to be dodged, parried, blocked, or miss, due to the table-based attack resolution system that WoW uses; in this situaton the cold blood buff (along with the 100% crit modifier) will not be lost, and will still apply to the next special attack. It is also better for rogues that have cold blood to use a slower weapon, therefor doing more damage.

Limitations

  • The Cold Blood buff is no longer lost if the attack fails to hit.
  • This ability is overridden by Blessed Resilience.

Notes

  • Like all "on next attack" abilities, cold blood does not activate the global cooldown.
