Vendetta Marked for death, increasing damage taken from the Rogue's attacks, and always visible to the Rogue. Duration: 20 seconds

Vendetta is a level 42 Assassination rogue ability. It increases the damage the marked target takes and also allows the rogue to see the marked target through any stealth or invisibility effects.

A rogue who is marked with Vendetta and uses [Vanish] will cause the effect to end.

Vendetta provides even more benefit when combined with other damage cooldowns, as well as when energy is pooled before use.

Improvements

• [Intent to Kill] (honor talent) reduces the cooldown of [Shadowstep] by 66% when used on a target marked by the rogue's Vendetta.
