Mutilate is a rogue ability learned at level 10 for those with the Assassination specialization. It requires two daggers to use and awards two combo points.

Modified by

• [Anticipation] (talent)
• [Shadow Blades] (core ability)
• [Blindside] ( assassination spec ability)
• [Seal Fate] ( assassination spec ability)

Notes

• Mutilate does higher initial damage than even [Backstab].
• It has a high energy cost.
• Only available when two daggers are equipped.
• Because mutilate attacks with both weapons, both attacks have a chance to crit. The crit chance for an additional combo point is 2 x Crit - Crit².
