This week a couple of little bugs that made Assassination rogues so very happy were hotfixed:
- Fixed an issue where Poisoned Knife could apply poisons twice.
- Fixed an issue where Deadly Poison could retain Nightstalker’s damage bonus until Deadly Poison fell off the target.
- Mutilate damage increased by 20%.
- Balanced Blades (Artifact trait) bonus increased to 4% per point (was 2% per point).
- Poison Knives (Artifact trait) reduced to 3% per point (was 4% per point).
- Deadly Poison triggered instant damage increased by 15%.
The devs addressed the Fan of Knives bug in a Tweet. The changes that they mention are reflected in the Hotfixes above:
We are working on changes to make sure Mutilate is the preferred single-target builder for Assassination, since Fan of Knives is not meant to serve that purpose. https://t.co/xKTBFyjeo2

They also took the opportunity to address a question about flavor:
Yes, this is intended.
After all, when is the last time you saw an assassin or a pirate that could run across water? Only ninjas are so swift. https://t.co/2wpDBPXte6
