Cold Blood is a rogue class talent. When used, it increases the critical strike chance of the next offensive ability by 100%.
Notes
- It is still possible for the Cold Blood-modified attack to be dodged, parried, blocked, or miss; in this situation the Cold Blood buff will not be lost, and will still apply to the next special attack.
- Like all "on next attack" abilities, Cold Blood does NOT activate the global cooldown, and can thus be bound to a macro with another ability.
- While Cold Blood is active, the Rogue's right hand will have a blue aura emitting snow crystals around it.
Trivia
- Cold Blood is a common Rogue spell in Hearthstone. The flavor text reads: "I'm cold blooded, check it and see!"
