Hack and Slash : This new row 5 talent combines the benefits of the removed talents Dagger Specialization , Mace Specialization , Sword Specialization , and Fist Weapon Specialization , and also adds a bonus for Axes. Axes gain the same benefit as Swords, a chance to make an extra attack. The bonus for Maces causes attacks to ignore some of the target’s armor, rather than provide a chance to Stun.
Weapon Expertise : (Redesigned.) Now reduces the chance for a target to Dodge or Parry your attacks.
Aggression: Now also increases Backstab damage. We wanted the Combat specialization to support a Backstab -oriented build as well as a Sinister Strike -oriented build. So, this and several other talents gained more Backstab support.
