Murder

Murder ranks in Forever

1. Rank 1 Increases all damage dealt by 2% against Humanoid and Giant targets.
2. Rank 2 Increases all damage dealt by 4% against Humanoid and Giant targets.

Rank 1 from footage. Ranks 2+ were still Classic text; rewritten from rank 1 with linear scaling. Rank 2+ values not yet seen on camera.

What Murder does in Classic Era

Forever changed this talent. The Classic Era wording is kept here rank for rank so the two can be read side by side.

1. Rank 1 Increases all damage caused against Humanoid, Giant, Beast and Dragonkin targets by 1%.
2. Rank 2 Increases all damage caused against Humanoid, Giant, Beast and Dragonkin targets by 2%.
