When any player in your party or raid critically hits with a spell or ability, you gain a combo point on your current target. This effect cannot occur more than once every 2 seconds, and can only occur while you are in combat.
Honor Among Thieves is a passive rogue ability learned at level 50 for those with the Subtlety specialization. Whenever a party or raid member critically hits, the rogue will gain an extra combo point on the current target. This can only occur while the rogue is in combat.
Notes
This effect only triggers from abilities, not from auto-attacks.
This effect can also trigger from your own critting abilities.
This effect only triggers from members of your group, not from members of the entire raid.
Combat Pets owned by group members are (currently) considered as seperate members but within your group, so their critting abilities may trigger this effect too.
Patch changes
Patch 4.0.6 (8-Feb-2011): The Honor Among Thieves buff icon is now correctly displayed for the rogue, and not just for the rogue’s party members.
Patch 3.2.2 (2009-09-22): A 1-second cooldown is now enforced on how often a rogue can gain combo points from his party via this talent.; This talent will now work properly again if two rogues with different ranks of the talent are in the same party.
Patch 3.2.0 (04-Aug-2009): Periodic critical strikes now grant combo points for rogues with this talent.
Patch 3.0.8 (2009-01-20): The bug where stacking multiple rogues with this talent caused them all to gain additional combo points has been fixed. In addition, it no longer cancels eating and drinking if a party member gains a critical strike while it is active.
