Ghostly Strike Ghostly Strike

Rogue · Subtlety · Row 3 of 7 · Single rank
Changed from Classic Active ability

Ghostly Strike sits in row 3 of the Rogue Subtlety tree. A talent tree is simply the grid of talents for one class role. It costs just one point. So the only question is whether opening its row fits your build.

Changed from Classic. This talent now works differently than in Classic, so read the ranks below before you spend any points.

40 Energy | Melee Range | Instant | 20 sec cooldown

What Ghostly Strike does at each rank

A rank is one level of a talent. Every rank makes the effect a bit stronger. The list below uses the exact wording from the beta client, word for word.

  1. Rank 1: A strike that deals 125% (180% if a Dagger is equipped in your Main Hand) weapon damage and increases your chance to dodge by 15% for 7 sec. Awards 1 combo point.

How to reach Ghostly Strike

Row 3 opens after you spend 10 points in the earlier Subtlety rows. Level 20 is the earliest you can pick up Ghostly Strike.

Is Ghostly Strike worth the points?

One point gives you the full effect. The real cost is opening row 3. That is 10 points in the rows above, so take it when the talent suits your build.
