    Rogue's SnD can become a passive

    Using a finisher with 5 combo points grants you SnD that increase your attack speed for x seconds
    Less combo points lost on a boring spec, can this work ?

    Would definitely be better than this boring shit we have now.
    success comes in the form of technical solutions to problems, not appeals to our emotional side

    Wouldn't it be more braindead and thus more boring if you had to press less buttons? I don't get it.

    lt's also useful to use combo points for SnD before Marked for Death, what else would you use combo points for before attacking the next target and using MfD? That would be huge downgrade for Marked for Death.

    You think periodically pressing buttons is cognitively engaging?

    Okay.

    Okay.
    Pressing buttons have always lead to more damage in WoW. You can't just afk and expect to top meters.

    I would prefer, at least, if every rogue spec got the Premeditation talent so they could passively apply Slice and Dice in a similar way that Subtlety is currently able to.

    So you want it to be Sinister strike x5-6 -> Eviscerate (Eviscerate does x amount of damage and debuffs the target with Rupture and gives you SnD)
    Or would 2 buttons still be too much?

    still too many buttons. I got a better idea: "Your autoattacks have chance to give you a combo point. At 5 combo points your auto attacks have chance to give you SnD, Roll the Bones, give an enemy Rupture or damage an enemy with Eviscerate"

    Using sinister strike in stealth also suns target for 4 seconds. Every 4th sinister strike deals extra X damage

    I'm pretty sure we'll end up with something like this.

    Again.

    We were through this many years ago with mutilate extending snd and eventually snd getting deleted. As it will be deleted again, question is if in Shadowlands or only in 10.0

    After playing Rogue quite a bit on beta only Subt feels good because you never actually have to hit SnD. I took it off my bars even.

    SnD is a perfect example of poorly designed and outdated skills returning for no reason at all

    there are many abilities that should have never been pruned and there are some that should, SnD is essentially a skill that has no immediate impact on whatever you're doing other than postponing more satisfying things from happening (like finishing moves) and the effect of it even if prolonged is UNINTERESTING, none cares about auto-attacks and SnD just makes them faster... so none cares about SnD

    sometimes even bad designs can increase the skill cap that doesn't mean they should have a spot in the game, especially as baseline (aka mandatory), by the way balance works getting stuff like SnD or the (now removed) 5% damage increasing Hunter's Mark means that essentially you deal less damage overall and need to apply them to regain your lost damage

    I prefer pressing less buttons than pressing more buttons for boring abilities.

    Attacking 50% faster is more fun than doing boring 3k damage on target. You cant define fun for everyone.

    But SnD is fun.

    Who wouldn't want to attack 50% faster? People are yelling about Bloodlust like a madman if you forget to press it.

    That's something you press ones every 10 minutes that benefit the whole raid.

    BL feels good because it improves haste, not melee attack speed. White attacks are boring because they're out of your control.

    Also SnD is a maintenance buff, which means it effectively becomes your baseline attack speed. This means you don't feel good when you press SnD, you just feel bad while you build to it/if you let it fall off.
