    lets see... this ability stuns for 4 seconds, then 2 combo points. then u can backstab... kidney shot. and thats a 3rd rank kidneyshot. soo, another couple of seconds stuned. then u can gouge. so pretty much making the enemy not being able to attack u at all. and killing them easily!!

      if only... if it didn't break stealth you could go on all day cheap shotting an enemy... of course it breaks stealth... in your talents you can put up a 15% chance of getting an extra combo point with garrot, cheap shot and something else :P. It can go up to 5 ranks each time going up by 15% I have rank 5/5 for it so I can get 3 combo points with cheap shot 90% of the time... then get 2 Sinsters Strikes while they are stunned... then 5 combo Eivs doing about 400 damage for me... owned, it is truely a helpful skill

      This skill can be quite useful, if you know what your doing.

      Care to add why it's usless, I am interested to see your mistake

      I'm guessing this is why the guy 2 comments ago said it was useless:Blizzard decided a month or two ago that it was too powerful or too "cheap"(no pun intended).  So their way of dealing with it was making it a 20% chance to give you 2 combo points.  The other 80% of the time would give you no combo points.  To make matters worse, the ability now doesnt even have a 1% chance of giving a combo point, and blizzard wont accept that its a bug and continues the: Deny, Deny, Deny strategy.  They also nerfed vanish so that it "fails" 15% of the time(or around that).  With this bug, cheap shot is very useless because if it misses, you dont get anything, and even if it hits, you only stun for 2 seconds.

        there is no cooldown time - except that 1 sec timer after each skill. doesn't really matter though u can only use it in stealth...

      CS > SS > Gouge > KS > SS > Blind(then stealth) or Vanish *repeat*

      This works for me but it requires alot of practice and timing. Also it will only work if you have certian talents. And depending on your style of how you play will affect exactaly what you do in your stunlock.

      For example you might not repeat you might try and end it there with a ambush because you put talens into making it really good or somthing.

      How can you use cheapshot then ambush if both require stealth but cheapshot breaks it?

        ok... every where i go i see CS as starting move... what doesnt make sense to me is why would you choose to stun/vanish/stun then go thru ur remaining combos... instead of using Ambush ... then yada yada yada?  Ambush with max out crit and dmg possibilities and your looking at 55% additional crit chance plus 20% dmg.  Rogues get naturally high crit %'s in excess of 30% ... thats 85% crit chance.

        Am I missing something?
