For the Classic version, see [Seal Fate].

Seal Fate is an Assassination rogue talent. It grants an additional combo point whenever you critically strike with a single-target melee attack that generates combo points.

Notes

This ability is sought after mainly for fast Combo Point (CP) generation. It is great when used with [Mutilate] as it has a high critical strike rate. It works well for both PvP and raiding. Also works well with daggers, seeing as the mentioned combo point generator use daggers, which can lead to quick burst damage.
