Among every ability a rogue has at his disposal, Ambush is without a doubt the hardest hitting rogue ability. Ambush is learned at level 18, and becomes one of the dagger rogue's best friends.
Rank table
Rank | Damage | Level | Cost |
---|---|---|---|

- Note that damage listed is in addition to the innate 275%
weapon damage bonus that comes with using Ambush.
Improvements
- [Remorseless Attacks] gives your next Ambush a 20 or 40% increased chance to crit after killing an opponent that yields honor or experience. The improved crit chance lasts for 20 seconds. (Stacks with [Improved Ambush])
- [Opportunity] increases the damage of your Ambush by 10 or 20%.
- [Initiative] gives you a 33, 66, or 100% chance to add an additional combo point to your target when using your Ambush ability.
- [Improved Ambush] increases the critical strike chance of Ambush by 25 or 50%. (Stacks with [Remorseless Attacks])
- [Master of Subtlety] increases damage by 4, 6 or 10% during stealth and for 6 seconds afterward.
- [Seal Fate] 20, 40, 60, 80, or 100% chance to add an additional combo point when ambush crits.
- [Shadowstep] increases the damage of your next Ambush within 10 seconds by 20%.
- [Slaughter From The Shadows] decreases the energy cost of Ambush by 3, 6, 9, 12, or 15 energy.
- [Shadow Dance] allows you to perform Ambush out of stealth for 10 seconds.
- [Glyph of Ambush] increases its range by 5 yards.
Damage Calculation Formula
The basic damage formula for ambush
[Opportunity] = 1 + (0.1 * Opportunity Rank) [Master of Subtlety] = 1 + (0.03 * Master of Subtlety Rank + 0.01)
Modifier = (Attack Power / 14) * 1.7 Damage = [(Weapon Damage + Modifier) * 2.75 + Rank Bonus Damage] * Opportunity * Master of Subtlety
Tips
- Very effective in taking out cloth-wearing targets quickly.
- Ambush really begins to shine with the [Improved Ambush] Talent which, with 2 talent points spent, increases the critical strike chance of Ambush by 50%.
- Ambush is arguably preferable over [Cheap Shot] in PvP as an opener against mages, as a mage's [Blink] ability is usable while under a stun effect.
- A critical hit with an Ambush followed by an [Improved Sinister Strike] (or a well-timed [Backstab]) can put an enemy at a severe health disadvantage from the beginning of the fight, in addition to starting you off with 2-3 Combo Points.
- Use [Distract] in PvE if you are having trouble getting behind a target to line up an Ambush.
- The improved crit chance derived from the [Remorseless Attacks] talent stacks with that from the [Improved Ambush] talent, making it possible for a rogue with 15% or more base crit chance to obtain a 100% Ambush crit chance during the Remorseless effect.
- A quickly-executed "Ambush -> Vanish -> Ambush" combo attack can inflict severe damage on any single target with the correct enhancing talents.
