Uuhhmmmmmm, more like 1461 i believe.
Cruel knife does 8 piercing damage with 1471 attack speed.

On hero haste lix the numbers on your target's head pile one on top of the other with very little space in between. Your target also recoils (the "getting hit" animation) a lot, given that you hit most of the time. Your character attacks with basically no delay, meaning that once the attack animation has finished, it immediately starts the attack animation again.

By the way, if you ever want to sell a cruel knife, use this sales pitch that I just made up:
Take a level 125 rogue. Give it radiant earthstone bp and legs, obsidian gloves and boots, 250 damage fiery axe, 70 damage veteran helm, spectral reaper ring, three godly firefang rings, spectral midnight talisman, grand sunfire charm of venom, and cruel knife. Two poisoners bracelets of dexterity, even better. Stack full dex with a little bit of vit because strength doesn't increase elemental damage and you have low piercing damage. Max poison weapon, shadowstrike, life steal, etc.

That makes 670 heat damage, 100 magic damage, and 60 poison damage (+100 with reaper ring buff) at a blazingly fast speed, for a total of 830 elemental damage (930 with reaper ring buff). Include the damage boost from poison weapons and you could easily see yourself dealing up to 1k damage per hit.

Now you pop a hero haste lix. Just guessing, that puts you at maybe 5 hits per second?

Imagine a rogue, serving up 5k damage a second. That, people, is the definition of DPS.

And that's why I'm selling a cruel knife for <insert insanely high price here>.
In reality, though, a cruel knife can be farmed from Dustwither Catacombs or even the deeper end of Crookback. It is not insanely rare; it's just that it is mind-numbingly boring to farm in a low level area.

To put the Cruel Knife into perspective... yesterday I killed Goretusk Juggernaught with another rogue.

He had met dagger, full met armor with bonus and Dagger of Slaying.

I had... haste ring, cruel knife, 3 and 6 damage crush bracelets, earth talisman and 35 damage skewer...

I got the kill on the Jugger, and he said "wtf, how'd you get the kill".

If my rogue was fully equipped (haven't played him in a long time), getting the kill isn't too hard due to speed. Couple the knife with Radiant/Obsidian/Dmg rings/Dmg helm/Offhand axe... the amount of times you hit per second + damage is insane.

Also, if you use Cruel Knife, you better have some good energy regen or on a lix... because your skills get used a lot faster and drain energy super fast.

That is really interesting, wow. Just to clarify, Heroic Gloves of Haste and a Heroic Haste Lix do not stack together speed-wise?

It could be a good idea to have an elemental damage offhand (An axe) and the cruel knife.
Pop a combo/sk and a heroic haste, job done. You will interrupt almost everything.
The axe will make up for the low damage on the knife.

After reading this I re-skilled to include poison weapon max, put on my Obsidian Armour (100 poison) and my off-hand Fiery Axeand then went farming on ghosts for the boxes.

Great fun. But not sure it will be good to actually level or do Bosses. Though that might be caused by the low armour of the Obsidian...

Great discussion

Not to mention it is in fact closer to two hits per second on a hero haste, no where near 5.

Haha, probably. That's why it's a sales pitch—everything is exaggerated. You also would realistically hit about 500 damage per hit due to enemy armor—hitting maximum damage every time is unheard of. :D
