This section concerns content exclusive to Warcraft III

There's been some confusion over this- the main purpose of this and other tags are to note pieces of information that are only found in one source, not mentioned elsewhere and are therefore suspect. Most of what you're marking is just what happened in Warcraft III, much of it confirmed elsewhere.--Ragestorm (talk · contr) 18:40, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Please review the wording and usage of the template:

This article concerns content exclusive to Cataclysm. This article should only contain officially released content, such as BlizzCon 2009 content. This information is subject to change at any time. (Note this tag should only be placed on major Cataclysm articles.) See WW:DNP for the official policy on posting unreleased content.

It does not state that the article contains only Cataclysm content. It states the article is about Cataclysm content, which it is; it's about the zone in cataclysm. It makes no difference that the article also includes lore and information external to WoW or the closed area currently in game. It is used to indicate articles that are about content that is exclusive cataclysm, not to indicate that an article contains only cataclysm content. -- Zeal ^(T/C) 17:21, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

Your opinion is desired

Hey, we're pretty much settled on leaving Wikia, but I wanted to see if you had any input. Thanks. --PcjWowpedia wiki manager (TDrop me a line!•C207,729 contributions and counting) 01:00, October 10, 2010 (UTC)

To be perfectly honest, i don't really care.

OK, thanks for answering. :) --Pcj (T•C) 12:11, October 10, 2010 (UTC)

-'''Sinister Strike''' is a combat ability that deals your normal damage plus a number of extra points of damage which is determined by the rank. You must have a melee weapon to perform. With the [[Improved Sinister Strike]] talent, this move's relatively low [[energy]] cost coupled with its excellent damage make it one of the most important tools in the [[rogue|rogue's]] combat arsenal.

-==Notes==
-Unlike abilities such as [[Backstab]] or [[Gouge]], Sinister Strike can be used on any mob, in any position, in any combat state, and has no refresh rate beyond its [[energy]] requirement.
+== This section concerns content exclusive to Warcraft III ==
-Must be facing your target, and you must have a melee weapon equipped (and not be "disarmed").
-*The 4 piece bonus of the [[Bonescythe Armor]] Set gives you 5 [[energy]] for every one of your Sinister Strike critical hits.
-*The 6 piece bonus of the [[Bonescythe Armor]] Set reduces the threat generated from your Sinister Strike by 8%.
-*The 4 piece bonus of the [[Slayer's Armor]] Set increases the damage of your Sinister Strike by 6%.
-The basic Sinister Strike damage calculation formula:
- [[Aggression]] = 1 + (0.02 * Aggression Rank)
- [[Lethality]] = 0.06 * Lethality Rank
- [[Surprise Attacks]] = 1 + (0.10 * Surprise Attacks)
- Modifier = (Attack Power / 14) * Normalized Weapon Speed
- Sinister Strike = (Weapon Damage + Modifier + Extra Damage) * Aggression * Surprise Attacks
- Critical Sinister Strike = Sinister Strike * (2 + Lethality)
-For more info and detailed formulas to compensate for talents, see [[Sinister Strike formulas]].

-==Tips and tactics==
-*Often abbreviated to 'SS'.
-*Although positioning isn't a requirement for using Sinister Strike, it is still recommended that you try to position yourself behind the mob you are attacking, as attacks from behind cannot be blocked or parried.
-*It is recommended that you use a weapon with the highest average damage that you can attain for your main hand when using Sinister Strike, as the damage from Sinister Strike is calculated from a range between your weapon's minimum and maximum damage.
