Teleport to an enemy within 10 yards, attacking with both weapons for a total of (576% of Attack power) Physical damage and taking 35% reduced damage over 2 sec.
While Blade Flurry is active, also hits up to 4 nearby enemies for 100% damage.
Killing Spree is an Outlaw rogue talent. It is an instant rogue ability that allows the rogue to deal a large amount of burst damage to an enemy (several enemies with [Blade Flurry] in their range).
Killing Spree works with [Blade Flurry], so popping both will make the rogue attack additional targets instead of focusing on the rogue's main target.
Killing Spree also deals incredible damage to single targets and quite often is more effective and reliable when other targets are not in range.
Since Killing Spree uses weapon damage, it deals more damage with slow weapons.
During Killing Spree, you continue to melee. Your melee swings will benefit from the 50% damage bonus provided by Killing Spree, and you should further enhance this by using [Slice and Dice].
[Adrenaline Rush]'s 20% increase to attack speed will also enhance your melee swings during Killing Spree, but since you cannot use abilities while Killing Spree is active, you will waste the potential DPS boost provided by the energy regeneration bonus during that time.
While Killing Spree is active, all enemies will de-target the rogue, practically rendering the rogue immune to direct damage abilities. Area of Effect attacks and existing Damage over Time debuffs will still damage the rogue.
