Несколько фактов об абилке:

1.Запускаемые кинжалы обладают всеми свойствами оружия на вас. При их попадаинии применяются все зачаровки оружия, находящиеся как в левой, так и в правой руке. Это распрастраняется как на постоянные энчи, так и на временные (читай яды). Отсюда следует, что:
а) наложив на оба клинка Cripping Poison можно устроить масс-ползун =Р, так же хрошее средство против аддов в данжах.
б)При использовании Wounding Poison x2 вражеские хилеры либо очень быстро выдохнуться, либо просто не будут успевать. Сопоставим с талантом Deadly Brew и получаем заклинание, способное запросто переломить ход стычки на БГ, а может и целого сражения, если его применить в передних рядах, где идут сражения милишников. Почти обездвиженные и тугоисцеляемые они будут лёгкой добычей. Хотя если к каждой группе приписан пряморукий шаман, который вовремя воткнёт Cleansing Totem, то это не так страшно.
в)Используюя Mind-Numbing Poison, а так же талант Throwing Specialization можно устроить настоящий тарабум в задних рядах, где находятся кастеры. Значение в пвп тоже весьма и весьма большое.

2. Заклинание сочитается с Blade Flurry, но это касается только оружия в правой руке. Добавим сюда Adrenaline Rush, а так же пункт 1 и получим реально пыточную тему.

Возмоны и другие применения, так что фантазируйте, господа разбойники. И да поразят ваши кинжалы сердца врагов ваших!

Также если её заюзать рядом с врагом то будет показано как ваше метательное летит в его сторону(их сторону)

Комментарий от DeadHazard

яды идут и c метательного оружия, и с правой, и с левой руки, т.е. если вы намазали на мх дедлик, на ох ваунд, на метательное крипнг, то повесятся все яды(если прокнут) при использовании веера клинков. А так же прокают чанты наложенные на оружие (обвал/ураган) и прокают аксессуары.

Комментарий от Timear

После применения этого умения во враге на некоторое время остается воткнутой модель вашего метательного оружия. Трансмогрифицирование в Утолщенные бронзовые дротики может превратить толпу противников в ежей =)

Комментарий от Timear

Небольшой хинт:
Примерно 0.5 секунд после применения этой способности у Разбойника между пальцев обеих рук (иногда только левой) видно зажатые метательные ножи с уникальной моделью и текстурой. Их 4 в каждой руке. Символ, вытравленный на каждом, сначала напомнил мне символ Орды, но это явно не он. Модель и текстура одинаковы для Разбойников и Орды и Альянса. Если в момент метания ножей нажать кнопку "С", то с некоторой вероятностью персонаж в "гардеробной" все еще будет сжимать эти клинки. Если кто-нибудь узнает, что это за ножи, прошу Вас отписаться в ответах.

this will be a very good ability in PvE because till now rogues seemed overwhelmed in raid situations where u have to hit multiple targets (like Felmysts skeletons)... + i rly like the ideea of a rogue AoE .... and btw i dont think u can use this ability unless u have 2 daggers...but i think this completation will come later on... i cant imagine throwing a 2tone mace at some1

Комментарий от Jamein

Anyone else notice this...

Fan of Knives
50 Energy 5 yd range
Instantly throw both weapons at all targets within 8 yards.

What's the go there?

Комментарий от Daelyne

You probably need to be in melee range (5 yd) of your current target to use this but it will still deal dmg to targets up to 8 yds away?

Комментарий от wolf

I wonder if it will retain the animation from the Frozen Throne? I don't want to see me raise my hand in the air and a bunch of knives fly out, I want to spin around and have them come out!

Комментарий от Klentir

First off, I'd just like to say I've been waiting for Blizzard to add this skill to to rogues for a LONG time now, and I'm thrilled that they finaly got around to it :).

That being said, this is probably going to be the skill that rogues would use in helping guildies run low level instances, as (other then combat spec) rogues don't handle multiple mobs too well.

Since this ability requires melee weapons, I would suggest anything BUT daggers, since maximum damage would be achieved with fists, swords, or maces. As a interesting sidenote, for those rogues who are running guildies through instances, you might want to equip a slow off-hand as your poisons won't have much use on low level mobs and this attack does 100% damage of both your weapons. Atm, my weapons at level 70 my weapons would do 630-832, if I equiped a slow offhand I could achieve 1000+ damage, with WotLK, I expect weapons will scale up to 1750-ish. Meaning rogues may have a shot at doing full SM pulls XD.

A strategy for pulling off such a feat would probably be sprint, pull as much as the instance as possible, fan of knives, evasion for half the CD, then another FoK, and that should clear the mobs. Or, if you're sub-spec like I am, you can FoK, evasion, preperation, FoK, then after the evasion wears off use another evasion then FoK. That's 3 FoK, and very little damage to you.

If your weapons equal an average of 1750 damage when you're level 80 and have lovely WotLK weapons, you might even be able to clear all the mobs you pulled with FoK, evasion, FoK, and then you can save your preperation to restore FoK when you get to the boss in SM. I'd love to see a video of a rogue doing a SM run in less then 2 mins ^.^

For those of you that don't belong to leveling guilds or twink guilds where you are often asked to run people through instances, this post will mean little if anything to you :P

If they add a animation where I spin like a bladmaster using whirlwind and hundreds of knives fly out from me like a fountain of knives, I will love this game forever :D

edit: Changed all the FoN to FoK, just so people don't think I'm illiterate :P (you thought paladins "bubbling" was odd, just imagine when people start saying "That rogue loves to FoK")

Комментарий от Bfruity

wow. you and me bolth brother, I hate being left out in the pulls before moroes.

Комментарий от Fungus

And by FoN, you mean FoK. As bad as it may sound, 'knives' starts with a K not a N.

Комментарий от Karmelita

Will the rogue throw their weapons like god of war with chains on their hands, or they will be like; "oh my god, i lost my swords" ? :P

anyway, another aoe skill for rogues (see also murder spree) witch gives them more advantage to pve and not pvp (i like the healer blinded, don't you think?)

Комментарий от makron

This is the same range as for whirlwind.

Комментарий от eroch

I'm likin the idea of sneakin in on a group of 4 or 5 allies, opening on healer with garrote, performing murder spree, than fan of knives, vanish, re-open on healer, blade flurry + SnD, and probably have 2 or 3 dead. I wonder if fan of knives will proc sword or mace specialization? (Just think of a 5v5, rogues vs whatever, each starting the opener on a different person. I assume rogues can't be targeted while on murder spree (trapped maybe?))

Assassination spec doesn't seem too bad either. Deadly brew + Infectious poisons + Imp Poisons + cold blood + fan of knives doesnt sound too bad either. I'm assuming fan of knives will be able to crit and a guaranteed crit with this sounds great. Maybe use a macro to equip 2 high damage weapons whenever using this ability then switch back to daggers? (just remember to keep these weapons poisoned for best effect)

Комментарий от faia

notice ...only 5 yards so you still need to be in melee range to use

Комментарий от Cromethus

*sigh*

My only problem with this ability is that it is heavily, heavily weighted towards users of big slow weapons, essentially leaving Dagger rogues (again) in the lurch when it comes to AoEs.

Blade Flurry now hits more targets. Murder Spree hits two targets, and fan of knives is essentially an AoE designed for "big damage" weapons.

Here I thought blizzard was making a push to make daggers viable?

Комментарий от sciris001

anyone else besides me look at the range and kind of scratch your heads at it?

Ive seen plenty of old kung-fu movies, and in every one of them an ordinary ninja or samurei could throw their weapons (regardless of size, daggers, swords or both) much further than 8 yrds? i know thats 40 feet but, god damn... youre a L80 rogue! youve mastered everything there is to know and you cant tell me you'd think throwing your melee weapons (only 2 of them) 8 yrds will be effective?

i hope blizz changes this so its thrown weapons and not melee ones. hell, i say make it into a finishing move and give it the same effect as deadly throw except no slowing or spell interrupt. or keep the CD and give them those. thatd be a nice endgame move for a rogue, a mass interrupt and slow move with a 1 min CD and a moderately high energy cost.

but as it is now, its only good to keep peeps off of the AB and EotS flags.

Комментарий от Kwinto

also, perfect CC breaker :)

And more serious: it should be very nice snake trap "dispell".

Is this a spell that all rouges get in wotlk some point from 70-80 or is this a talent abilty cause some sources say its from talents but when i check out the wotlk talent trees i don't see it?

Комментарий от darkkeijp

Very nice for raids aswell. No longer will rogues have to sit and wait for aoe groups to be gone. Now they can actually do dmg. Blizz giving all classes a pve aoe ability it seems (warrior whirlwind, priest mind sear or something)

Комментарий от Califer

Instantly throw both weapons at all targets within 8 yards, causing 100% weapon damage.

V for Vendetta anyone?

Комментарий от Imp666

Reguardless of running lowbies in an instance you will still want 2 slow weapons when using this. Having a macro that swaps ur weapons then casts then swaps back will be very useful. When it comes to aoeing this in addition to Murder Spree will be a devistating blow.

and i dont understand why throwing ur MH weapons will be such an awful thing. Compare the dmg of your throw weapon to ur the dmg of your MH and OH. The dmg will be much more if your gunna change it to throw make the dmg increase 200% or somthing.

Its an instant cast that hits all targets with a potential range of 13 yds. hit a target at max range 5yd then hit all enemies in an 8 yd range of the center 13yd away. Then your weapons return. Again its instant and no metion of a delay. So from what I can see there will be no issue with using this using ur MH and OH

Комментарий от Murderface

Комментарий от Bloodleaf

They are changing this so that it does the same damage for both daggers and swords. I believe it's based off DPS average instead of min/max damage.

Комментарий от savethepaperclip

Or, if you're sub-spec like I am, you can FoK, evasion, preperation, FoK,

Комментарий от supertao

Fan of Knives + Unfair Advantage + Sweeping Strikes + Killing Spree + Evasion = Best AoE grinding in the game

Комментарий от CrashPilot

This is a skill i have been hoping for, it seems that blizzard is making the rouge a bit more interesting in pve. Not saying that this skill is not usefull for pvp ofc.

Now i see an interesting combo to be used with this skill. Cinse it is hard work to tank larger groups, say 5 or more, for any tank but the palladin (A good example would be shatered halls where this kind of pulls isn't uncommon). I could imagine the following:

So after the tank has pulled, and the mobs are close to him, pop tricks of the trade and do Fan of Knives. Transferring all threat of each mob to the tank ^^ this will make them stick a bit better and give the tank some time to build agro on them all. Tott works for six seconds so a quick killing spree would give extra threat on 5 mobs directly to the tank again.
And all this while still doing good damage.

Let's say:

5 mobs, 5 * 100% of an average of 800 to 1000 damage = 5k (and when realy good geared this will be quite some more)

plus 5* again 100% of an average of 800 to 1000 damage = 10k damage in less then 3-5 secs. Imo this is very decent damage for any class you play.

I think this will be a great skill in pve, making the rouge a lot more usefull in multi mob showdowns. The question will be.... will it actually work this way ^^, only time will tell.

Комментарий от Xxkilla

I'm gonna go lvl my rogue before wotlk comes out XD.

Комментарий от Xxkilla

Sweeping strikes if warrior, your thinking of bladefurry.

Комментарий от Darnok

Blade Flurry now hits more targets. Murder Spree hits two targets,

Please cite your sources.
Blade Flurry (according to the current beta build) still only hits ONE extra enemy (meaning has been left unchanged) and Murder Spree reads "Step through the shadows from enemy to enemy within 10 yards, attacking an enemy every .5 secs with both weapons until 5 assaults are made. Can hit the same target multiple times." which does not say any number of people that can be hit (maximum 5 people because there are 5 assaults).

Here I thought blizzard was making a push to make daggers viable?

Blizzard is not not making daggers viable (intended double negative). If you realized, you can now make a 51 points mutilate build AND have +5% crit with daggers +20% damage with mutilate +50% offhand damage and +5% hit with poisons AND melee attacks... All of that in the same build.

ONLY fan of knives is still dependant on top weapon damage... and being only one ability you can take a couple of seconds to make a macro to switch out your daggers and hit that fan of knives with dual swords then switch back to the daggers. The heavy energy cost of FoK ability will make it so that you will actually have "time" to switch out your weapons while waiting for the energy ticks to regenerate your energy.

Комментарий от Darnok

http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?spell=51679 + http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?spell=25046

I predict a lot of QQ coming from casters.

Комментарий от quimixto

It all depends, my dear BE rogue, on your point allocation - will combat be the PvP build in Wrath? You will need 38 points in combat to get the 100% silence.

Who knows until we test them all - but I certainly like the thought of Killing Spree for PvP, though how to keep the attacks focused on a single target will be the challenge - imagine CS+KS on a single target? Now that is QQ from anyone. Man this is going to be fun times for all use rogues trying the new talents and builds!

Apathy, I banish you!

Комментарий от Shiesty

I see lots of people talking about what will be the new rogue pvp builds will be, but if you look really well at every tree you can see that they all have aspects of both pve and pvp. It seems to me that blizz is making it so people dont need to respec back to pve after doing arena's or vise versa. Rather you can do both, raid and pvp, in any tree very well.

This ability has more use in PvP with Throwin Specialisation it's an additional interrupt.(aoe one)

You're THROWING your weapons at the targets, and you're wondering why it has a 30 second cooldown? That's because it takes 30 seconds of dodgeing all their attacks and not being stabbed in the face to get your weapons out of their chest/arms/legs

What if you missed? lol

Комментарий от Avatara

Fan of Knives is utterly horrible as of this moment.

Комментарий от aamiic

It has been stated by the dev's in the past that rogues were to be *the* top single dps target class. End of story. The fact that mages are now in 3.0 (if you say so - I haven't checked) is likely due to scaling not quite working at 70 as it will at 80. At least I hope so. Otherwise I'd want this to be on no cooldown.

Also, as of today this has been updated to a 10sec cooldown.

Комментарий от LandSavage

To be honest, it looks like they are finally making ALL talent specs viable for PvP. It boils down to preference, playstyle, and most used skills, and thats how you should spec.

They are even making healing builds more pvp oriented. This was very obvious with druids... Trees, I see trees in PvP now. No speed reduction, increased armor, a 6% base healing instead of spirit based increase (cause blizz doesn't want to give spirit on PvP gear for priests and druids, idk why).

Exellent changes, just excellent, Blizzard is on key.

Комментарий от superpoisin

Just a side note to the end of your post, as well as just to remind the rogues that are viewing, You mentioned " While waiting for the energy ticks to regenerate your energy...." though in WoTLK there are no longer ticks for energy regeneration, it is now a constant smooth increase on your bar.

I think it's good that they chosed a 30 second cooldown, cause Rogues shouldn't have AoE.
So Rogues won't use it much, at least for PvP that is.

Комментарий от Magikkz

fan of knives+bladeflurry= instant death for large grps of mobs? that would be sooooo good for lvling

Комментарий от raigesama

Before 3.0.2 if by chance you were in a pvp situation for example, and a warrior parry's one of your energy moves, and you're at 29 energy, the next tick would put you at 49 energy, so you would have to wait for the next tick to use FoK.
This won't happen anymore since energy regen is smoother, also to anyone that thinks energy regen is slower now is a nub. I remember trying to use sinister strike (with combat talents) and be stuck at 39 energy, a stupid 1 energy away from hitting, only to have to wait for the next tick. This was a bigger problem in pvp when I needed to kick or ks.

Комментарий от Sonofspree

So, tell me, how many casters do you fight nowadays that actually do things WITH cast times?

Rogue on a mage. They spam ice lance, arcane explosion, or frost nova ( granted 'spam' is not the word for frost nova ). If you're a mage casting a frostbolt/fireball/sheep with a rogue in your face, you deserve to get kicked.

PvP priests use mostly instants as well, power world shield, renew, prayer of mending, and if we do get a chance to catch them casting their are locked out less due to talents.

Shamans have very fast, very powerful lesser healing waves, have less lock out due to talents, and have constant regen from earth shield.

These are merely examples.

Also, as for your little example there. Most of these classes has resistances to stun and kick mechanics. So what you're saying is highly improbable. Not to mention that even if I kick a frostbolt, the mage can still use fire abilities.

"FoK is 4-5sec on Stun before trinket"

It's not a stun, it's a silence. Second, do you think I am going to have 50 energy after dumping it all on your little drunker attack pattern there? I see you using moves which stun ( cheap shot, kidney shot ) but I fail to see you generating combo points with other moves to USE it. Hell it'd take some builds as much as 5 seconds to build enough points to do a six second stun.

Комментарий от DrPancake

From Blizzard:

We think we are going to remove the cooldown of Fan of Knives altogether. There are just too many PvE situations where rogues feel at a disadvantage without a reliable ranged attack. The example that came up recently is Meathook in CoT:Stratholme and having the spawning zombies causing pushback on your healers. Rogues can FoK once and then have to run over to help the healer.

Комментарий от catheryna

Does this proc poisons as well?

Комментарий от tlarn

This will probably be fixed or done away with completely when the next patch or so is implemented, but I've got to post this.

After several experiments, I've found that whatever Poisons you have applied to your weapons, will actually follow through when you use Fan of Knives. It is logical that this would be the case, but I had to test it and make sure.

As of this point, I would say that with Crippling Poison, Wound Poison, and/or Mind-Numbing Poison, Fan of Knives is a deadly move in PvP, maybe even during dungeons and raids.

Also, Fan of Knives in combination with Tricks of the Trade is a great way to ensure that tanks will pick up larger groups of mobs in dungeons and raids.

Комментарий от Liquoid

With upcoming 3.0.4 changes, the CD will be gone - it'll now be determined purely by our energy pool (5 seconds to regen 50 energy if you're not combat). Also, a change will be made so that daggers are viable with this move

Комментарий от Eritu

The technique favored by Deathwing rogues ATM, is to only use this when there are more than 2 mobs, any less and its wasted DPS.

Комментарий от Mekelan

So just checking, but does this spell have a "damage cap" ? I've heard about some spells (like Warlock or Mage AoE) have a maximum "DPS" for all the mobs they're hitting? So if there's a hypothetical 10000 enemies in the AoE, they might only take 20 damage/second each? The reason I ask is because most other "physical AoE" like Whirlwind have a limited number of targets right on the tooltip, this doesn't seem to have that.

Комментарий от Huurka

This ability can proc poisons.

It's useful when you are against a bunch of casters. Mindnumbing/Crippling, Fan of Knives if you're lucky it can proc both poisons!

Комментарий от Blastiblue

For all rogues out there that think this is cool and want to do mad dmg with this baby add poisons. Like your throwing your weapons then poisons have a chance to proc :D. Use instant poison for extra 577dmg ^.^

Edit : dunno why im getting downrated, try it before doing that :(

Комментарий от rambaral

Don't get too excited. As soon as I got it I went into Stockades and the mobs still needed 2-3 hits of it to kill them.

The removal of the CD will help but if it still took that many in Stockades anything beyond SM would still be better off using regular attacks.

FoK can crit as well as proc trinkets, poisons, etc.

Edit:
With the 3.0.8 patch the damage from daggers (what I used in the above test) is buffed. Making my rebuttal less valid.

Finally.. Rogues can be counted in AoE group..

Thanks.. I am crying ~>_<~

Комментарий от Kataya

Patch 3.0.8 - # Fan of Knives now causes 150% weapon damage with daggers and 100% weapon damage with all other weapons. The cooldown has been removed.

So you'll no longer need to use a macro to change to slow weapons, if you use daggers.

Комментарий от coolman920

During Deadmine boost,
''It's ok i can FoK them to death''

Комментарий от Varatrix

it has been said that,in patch 3.0.8, FoK will scale to 150% when using daggers and stay at 100% when using swords,maces,fists,ect., and have the 10sec cd removed. Quite the nice perk for the mut rogues out there imo

Комментарий от hoosemenzatta

now... why would this have a 10 second cooldown completely removed? and at the same time have the dagger damaged bumped up to 150%? Skill overhaul....

finally getting some Rogue AoE and as of Patch 3.0.8 the Cooldown on Fan of Knives has been removed. if you dont have better forms of AoE DPS, by popping Adrenaline Rush you can practically spam it to take down annoying adds in instances. i know i love using this move in PvP whenever hunter uses Snake Trap or if a Death Knight's Bloodworms spawn

Комментарий от rambaral

Unfortunately the animation is a group of general dagger-looking knives instead of the actual models of what you have equipped. Maybe in the future they will update it to match, but since it's so fast I'm surprised what is shown actually had a model and texture to begin with.

Комментарий от cjm336

It is very important to note that Fan of Knives has a chance to proc any poisons that may be on your weapons (ex. Deadly, Cripp, Wound)

Today I equipped dual crippling poisons during a heroic Gluth fight in naxx and used this ability to land a kind of 'mass snare'...albeit the nature of this effect makes it unreliable and generally random, it turned out to snare quite a number of the mofo's allowing us to seal a win from what was otherwise terribad PuG kiters.

Комментарий от Duskryn

Fan of Knives is affected by Blade Flurry, but only the attacks from throwing your main hand will carry over. I discovered this myself when I went through my combat log out of curiosity.

Here's what it looked like. There were two worgs of the same type.

"Fan of Knives hits Cavedweller Worg for 308 physical.
Fan of Knives hits Cavedweller Worg for 349 physical.
Fan of Knives hits Cavedweller Worg for 709 physical.
Fan of Knives hits Cavedweller Worg for 2005 physical. (Critical)
Blade Flurry hits Cavedweller Worg for 709 physical.
Blade Flurry hits Cavedweller Worg for 2005 physical."

Комментарий от akwei

It should be noted that if you're specced into it, Cold Blood causes each 'hit' of Fan of Knives to crit, which means 2 crits on each target within 8 yards. Tricks of the Trade -> Cold Blood -> Fan of Knives will provide your tank with some nice snap aggro on multiple mobs.

Комментарий от Lockeez

Fan of Knives cannot damage Shaman totems.

Комментарий от Norfax

You can now cast Fan of Knives without having a target. This allows for things such as getting rogues out of stealth after a vanish or a mage after using invisibility, allowing for some pretty nifty tricks against other rogues or mages (if you have that much energy left at the time, since the ability itself is quite costly at the moment. Breaking vanish/invisibility is almost priceless, though).
Atleast to me, this makes the ability more appealing, and it has most definetely earned a place on my action bar.
Since this depends on weapon damage, as it is right now, it is more useful with slow weapons rather than fast ones, but I read there was currently discussions about how this could be improved for rogues using daggers.

Комментарий от swirlyeyes

After patch it seems Combat Daggers (this post is PURELY for discussion) would benefit the most from the 150% increase; it deals MORE damage than an equivalent sword weapon.

From what I have sitting in my pack, Silent Crusader / Widow's Fury combo a FoK would deal:
MH: 860-1096
OH: 412-526

Since it's 100% weapon damage those numbers are taken straight from character sheet. (AP omitted for the simplification of math)

An Anarchy / Rolfsen's Ripper combo would be:
MH: 644-758 -> 150% -> 966-1137
OH: 424-535 -> 150% -> 636-802.5

Those weapons mentioned with the exception of Rolfsen's Ripper(143.4) are 156 DPS.

Fancy your tastes, for a Slow/Fast combat daggers combo (Anarchy / Librarian's Paper Cutter)

MH: 633-747 -> 150% -> 949.9-1120.5
OH: 322-374 -> 150% -> 483-561

The numbers above show what I personally take away as FoK as a skill FAVORS Slow/Slow combat daggers.

Specced deep into combat and with thrown specialization the rogue gains a unique spell locking ability in fights such as the mage boss in Nexus or trash mobs prior Grand Widow Faelina, with respectable AoE to boot.

It would also likely beat a mage's AoE damage in terms of burst value with 120 energy.

If anyone is curious, cold blood works with this. Crits every target in range, its pretty awesome.

Cooldown of this ability has been removed and will now deal 150% weapon damage if you have dagger equipped..

Seems to me Mutilate rogues will benefit a lot from it since they already had 106% weapon damage.

Nice change on the current PTR which is going to go LIVE soon :) (not sure yet though)

Do crits with Fan of Knives return energy via the Focused Attacks talent in the Assassination tree?

Yesterday while waiting for my naxx run I began randomly spamming FoK (enjoying the lack of cd). I noticed that I was leveling my MH weapon skill slowly (i just switched to fists)... I don't know if this was intended and will likely be fixed, but for now, hunker down in a city and spam away.

Комментарий от benkarioz

With Mutilate specced It has 159% damage.
This ability is awesome boosting tool. Had a few buddies boosted through Uldaman. At first I though I would have some problem with multiple mobs as I am Mutilate specced. In the end I boosted even faster than with Blade Flurry/Killing spree. Here's what I did: Sprint, Evasion (if doing a massive pull), gather the mobs and FoK them to death.

Комментарий от ahunter

Don't know if it's working as intended but currently this ability gives weapon skill! So equip different types of weapons and spam this ability!

why are people rating this down? It's true, try it yourself, get a weapon you haven't capped the skill on, put it in your MH and start hitting FoKs over and over.
Instead of knee jerk, rating things down that sound like they are a little unbelievable, TRY them first.

Комментарий от theakismaniac

1 button aoe, spammable WW that also poisons... as long as there is at least 3 targets, it would be less dps to do anything else, its like around 800-1000dps per target

should be using tricks of the trade with this, pretty much doing the tanks job for them on pulls

it also shows up as 106/159% (non-dagger/dagger) with find weakness

each individual crit does count for the +2 energy for focused attacks, and a nice spam if you have energy gains on with scrolling combat text... it also seems to be affected by BF to an extent which is amazing considering this attack pretty much outdps'es anyone on aoe dps untalented except for unholy dks and fire mages who love to spam flamestrike lol

the glyph also seems additive and not multiplicative with the talent as well, just with the base damage, tool tip shows either 120/180% as combat/sub, 126/189% as assassination... it is one of the better glyphs but usually ends up being not one of the 3 best for most specs (usually go with mut being mut/hfb/rupt, combat being ss/ar/ks, hat being evis/rupt/snd, though i guess combat would be the easiest to fit it in over AR)

Комментарий от jackpayback

There has been some rumor (maybe even blue post) that blizz will take a look on the use of FoK+crippling poison (or other ones) due to their PoV on some 5v5 arena.

Very useful (and needed) skill for rogues which serves many purposes.

It gives you the chance of getting a rogue that is stealthed or vanished out of stealth.

You can use this skill to aoe snare to either give u some kiting room or to snare other people that arent in melee hit/shiv range to kite/give your healer or partner time to reset.

haven't really tested this out yet, but speccing into FoK in combat will make you very annoying in 5s with the aoe interrupt and sometimes even in 3s.

Комментарий от camarouge

A lot of abilities from DotA characters are identical to abilities and spells in WoW -- this is common knowledge.

Deadly Throw is a near carbon copy of Mortred(Phantom Assassin)'s Stifling Dagger. Shadow Step applies for the same comparison to her Blink Strike, but I'm not dense -- I already know that the WoW abilities came first, and they deserve the credit. If you ask me, though, Diablo II deserves all of it.

Anyway I'd like to see a new rogue ability similar to Rikimaru's: Cloud of Smoke(X% miss chance and silence for Y seconds in a Z area of effect).

Wonderful ability but since it can be spammed without a target with Adrenaline Rush, especially in a main city - this seems to a very effective way for idle, bored rogues to annoy other players with the sound effect.

Now, this irritates me. I may do the most DPS on a trash pull guys... But that's because I have good weapons. If I were to have weapons which weren't near-BiS, you wouldn't see it so high. The idea is that this ability is better with better weapons.

To reiterate, Fan of Knives does proc the Assassination talent Focused Attacks, but does NOT proc the Combat talent Combat Potency. In addition, combat rogues are much much much less likely to use daggers as the main hand weapon (as backstab combat specs are dead). For AoE, Assassination (Mut) > Combat. For single-target, Assassination > Combat. From a combat rogue, THANKS BLIZZARD.

Since this ability now requires thrown weapons, it's worth mentioning that poisons can now be applied to them as well. :)

As of 4.0 this is now based on THROWN weapon damage and you can NOT use this ability unless one is equipped. So now rogues will be less likely to be rolling on hunter weapons unless they like to switch back and forth for trash and boss.

Also a poison can be added to thrown weapon (amazing benefits for PvP). So pick you poison carefully. I tend to think Instant Poison will be best, but the stacks of Deadly may overcome my suspicions.

Комментарий от Forsakengirl13

Without getting into the dynamic nature of classes and the recent changes from Cata and subsequent patches, no, this move will not be a major contributer to your dps output. However, you might wish to consider a good poison for tactical purposes based on the battleground(or dungeon) you are in. Crippling poison spammed with FoK knives will easily slow down a group with a flag, even with racial and trinket movement impairment removers. Mind numbing poison gives an added edge against casters. I frequently spam this if I see a group of healers and warlocks sitting a bit back, giving my team mates some precious time to get the upper hand. Wound poison will be useful when fighting in a cluster you know what and the enemies keep healing, this will impair their efficiency. Just a few examples of why you shouldn't knock the damage too much, as it has other uses than pure dps. Also, it can help you easily accumulate rep/exp in pve and honor kills in pvp.

As of 4.3 Combat Rogues can no longer use Fan of Knives during Killing Spree.

It was listed nowhere in the patch notes that they did this themselves, so it was originally a bug or the ability is currently broken from being used during the action. Combat Rogues have had the option to do this since 3.3.5 to prevent energy capping in awkward situations when Killing Spree was performed or to waste excess energy for quicker burst DPS.

Now I have no clue what is going on with it.. <.<

Комментарий от dipiddy

In Mists beta, Fan of Knives grants a combo point. As a side effect, Fan of Knives now requires a target, and can't be spammed like it used to. No more spamming by the auction house, on the bank steps, or while dancing on the mailbox (unless you can target a rat or Gamon).

Комментарий от dance4life

NOTE: Although this post contains useful information about the new Fan of Knives for MoP, I am using it to show rogues how more powerful it is with the legendaries (which will soon be gone within a month being replaced by some quest green I'm sure)

If you have legendaries at the moment, you'll love the new Fan of Knives for trash.

1) You should know now that Fan of Knives now grants a combo point per use ONLY IF you have an enemy target, so don't forget that.
2) Fan of Knives applies your weapons' poisons at the same rate.

Now, number 2 is the reason why AoE is ridiculous with the legendaries.

You already should be using Deadly Poison for your lethal poison. Now, for each enemy you hit with Fan of Knives, it applies Deadly Poison(not 100%) but pretty frequently. Deadly Poison only stacks ONE time now and any poison application after just deals straight damage. Of course once you reach 5 combo points, use Crimson Tempest (new AOE "finisher"). SOOOO, after all those enemies already have a stack of Deadly Poison, FoKing afterward just throws out multiple damage hits, EACH OF WHICH seems to give a stack of your legendaires' Combat Trance (stacking agility buff). So while FoKing a mob of like 3 enemies, you gain like 3-5 stacks of Shadow Trance per FoK use. So in like 10 seconds you can reach between 30-50 stacks and have them proc your WINGS. At that point, u can spam 5 point Crimson Tempest (new AoE "finisher") until your daggers proc runs up.

Rinse and repeat.

Комментарий от narlic

It's worth noting that this ability "Awards 1 combo points if it strikes your current combo target." Note that it's "combo target" rather than "target"

This means that if you were to, for instance, put one combo point on a mob (or target dummy, for testing) and then switch targets and start spamming Fan of Knives, additional combo points would continue to accumulate but only on that first dummy. You'd be able to spend them with a finishing move, but you won't be able to see how many points you have on your current target.

I'm saddened that this spell doesn't get added sooner in a rogue's arsenal. Around level 30 or 40 would be perfect, since being locked into combat spec for an AoE until 66 is a bummer.
Also, as you may have guessed FoK is effected by Теневая концентрация, costing 9 energy in stealth. It'll let you get more sprays in one energy bar.

In WoD FoK seems very weak. The Sub AoE was supposed to get a boost via the Enhanced FoK and Crimson Tempest spam, but both FoK and CT barely surpass offhand damage. It works because you can spam FoK and two CTs usually, but a boost (or based on weapon damage) would be prefered.
