Deadly Throw is a rogue finishing move that slows the target for 6 sec and deals damage, increased for each combo point on the target.

Tips and tactics

  • Useful if you want to open with [Cheap Shot] on a mage. They will probably blink out of it, but if your Crippling Poison hasn't snared them, this will. However, [Garrote] or [Ambush] may still be better choices when opening against a mage.
