Modifier
Requirements
- Mutilate learned; first recorded spellbook level 30.
- Select Mutilate in Assassination: minimum 21 valid points in that tree including this talent. Legacy point eligibility does not establish early spell acquisition.
- Requires Daggers
- Cold Blood learned; first recorded spellbook level 25.
- Select Cold Blood in Assassination: minimum 16 valid points in that tree including this talent. Legacy point eligibility does not establish early spell acquisition.
- Daggers equipped for Mutilate; living enemy in melee range for its attack.
Known limitations
- Research only: not tested in the Forever client. Beta spell names, parser behaviour and requirements may change.
- English spell names; check your spellbook and actual learned rank. Source IDs identify reference ranks, not a forced rank-1 cast.
- Range, line of sight, resources, cooldowns and the global cooldown still apply. A macro does not detect readiness or choose your next combat action.
- Separate keypresses select the buff and attack. The macro does not verify poison, pool Energy or guarantee the next hit will consume the buff as intended.
- Keep the listed modifier combination free of conflicting action-bar bindings. Each chosen spell requires its own keypress; this is not a sequence.
Notes
- Researched 27 September 2026 against source beta build 1.60.1.70009. Spec lists are recommendations; actual learned spells and selected talents determine eligibility.
