Talent improvement

  • Ability fiegndead [Remorseless Attacks] will give your next Hemorrhage a 20% or 40% increased chance to crit after killing an opponent that yields honor or experience. The improved crit chance lasts for 20 seconds.
  • Ability criticalstrike [Lethality] increases the critical strike damage bonus of your Hemorrhage by 6%, 12%, 18%, 24%, or 30%.
  • Ability rogue sinistercalling [Sinister Calling] now increases the percentage damage bonus of Hemorrhage by 1/2/3/4/5%

Item improvement

  • The 4 piece bonus of the Bonescythe Armor Set gives you 5 Energy for every one of your Hemorrhage critical hits.
  • The 6 piece bonus of the Bonescythe Armor Set reduces the threat generated from your Hemorrhage by 8%.
  • The 4 piece bonus of the Slayer's Armor Set increases the damage done by Hemorrhage by 6%.

Damage calculation formula

The basic formula for calculating hemorrhage damage is:

Ability criticalstrike [Lethality] = (0.06 * Lethality Rank)
Ability rogue sinistercalling [Sinister Calling] = (0.01 * Sinister Calling Rank)
Damage Factor = 1.10 * (1 + Sinister Calling)
Critical Factor = 2 + Lethality
Normalization factor = 2.4 for swords, 1.7 for daggers

Normal Hemorrhage Damage = [(Attack Power/14 * Normalization factor) + Weapon Damage]*Damage Factor
Critical Hemorrhage Damage = Normal Hemorrhage Damage * Critical Factor

Note that the bonus from Sinister Calling is additive!

Thinking of speccing Hemorrhage?

  • Hemorrhage does not stack with Ability rogue garrote [Garrote] nor Ability rogue rupture [Rupture] as it is not a bleed effect; the additional damage is not applied to the damage ticks of either ability.
  • Ability rogue stayofexecution [Seal Fate] is wasted on a hemorrhage build, as +9% agility and a full +10% attack power is better, until a 30% or higher crit rate is achieved. If you play PvP consider that the average arena opponent will have around ~400 resilience, so ~10% critical hit chance reduction; you will need around 40% or higher crit rate to efficiently use Seal Fate with hemo. On pre-TBC this options was viable since resilience was not present in the game and was easy to reach 30% crit chance, but even then it was a poor choice in comparison to the standard hemo build as Seal Fate only performed well with daggers with Imp BS and Imp Ambush.
  • If you plan to use Hemorrhage always look for the weapon that has the highest average damage that you can obtain. If you are making a choice, choose the weapon with the best average damage.

Patch changes

  • Wrath-Logo-Small Patch 3.3.3 (2010-03-23): If the rogue has a dagger equipped, this ability now deals 160% weapon damage instead of 110%.
  • Bc icon Patch 2.3.2 (2008-01-08):
    • Rank 4 of this ability no longer has its charges consumed by non-physical attacks and spells.
    • Weapon damage reduced from 125% to 110%, but the damage debuff has been increased.
    • This ability now correctly does additional damage when its debuff has already been applied.
  • Bc icon Patch 2.3.0 (2007-11-13): This ability now does 125% of weapon damage.
