File this under likely typo and "bwah?" http://www.mmo-champion.com/index.php?topic=9928.0 quote: It seems that some of the fansites part of the official fansite program were allowed to posts all the info from the skills and talents of the Death Knight gathered during the Worldwide Invitational. I guess that's the time to officially start the WotLK preview here and we'll start with the skills and talents of all the classes except for the Hunter and Paladins (not available yet) Under assasination talents: mutilate: Instantly attacks with both weapons for an additional 181 with each weapon. Damage is increased by 50% against Poisoned targets. Must be behind the target. Awards 2 combo points. Instant, 60 Energy, 5 yd range on wowhead: Mutilate Now... on MMO they had "requires dagger" for ambush and backstab. I find it "interesting" that they didn't for mutilate. The only think that might make me believe that it's not a typo is fan of blades (AOE hitting enemies with both weapons) and murder spree (hitting 5 times with both weapons). Though in either of the other cases, slow offhands anyone? --

Hmmm, I suspect it will largely depend on your build. Obviously people with poison talents or either of the energy regen on hit talents benefit more from fast offhands. Could certainly be interesting to keep a slow offhand in the bag, though, and macro a weapon switch to the Fan of Knives ability. | |

Murder spree and a slow offhand would be one reason I think that it would really really be hit with a bat. The question is whether blade flurry or sword spec would count for the 5 attack counter there. --

Murder spree and a slow offhand would be one reason I think that it would really really be hit with a bat. The question is whether blade flurry or sword spec would count for the 5 attack counter there. According to a friend of mine who is in the alpha, you do not autoattack during murder spree. The attack is an on-use yellow damage that works much like a mutilate every 0.5 seconds with your weapons that isn't boosted by opportunity, but does work with DW spec. Unlike Mutilate, it does not have a static damage added component to it. It is also not affected by things such as Lethality, and you can't do anything else while it's occuring, including move. It can be dodged. Not as OP when you consider that kind of thing. I don't know if it can proc sword spec but I'd assume not if white damage doesn't show up during it. That's of course subject to change. Edit: I dont know why i didnt post it, but it would have been MUCH simpler to describe it the way she described it to me when she first mentioned it: "It's basically exactly what Kargath does in Shattered Halls" --
