Serrated Blades is a 10 point talent in the Subtlety for Rogues. It was introduced in Patch 1.10 as a replacement for improved Rupture, and is a strict improvement over that talent. It is the pre-requisite for the 20 point talent Hemorrhage.

Functionality

Serrated Blades is a passive ability that increases the rogue's damage output by allowing the rogue's attacks to ignore a small portion of the target's armor. Also, the talent keeps the functionality of it's predecessor by increasing the damage of Rupture.

Notes

  • At level 70, Serrated Blades rank 3 will ignore 560 of the target's armor. This amount may not seem significant, but this is factored into every single attack, the benefit will add up.
  • At level 80, Serrated Blades rank 3 will ignore 640 of the target's armor per attack.
