I love Roll the Bones. But right now it feels terrible. Doesn’t impact the rotation as it used to because you always run with 3 or 4 buffs anyway, which makes the ability feel pointless. In Legion you could maybe maintain 2, 3 if you’re lucky. Each felt impactful and you felt it in the flow of combat because they all played different. And again, if you didn’t like it, you could just swap it to Slice and Dice.
But it’s not a Rogue problem. Blizzard designed the new talent trees in a way that gives you so many overlapping buffs and passive procs that you don’t really feel the impact of any of them aside from a select few exceptions (Crackshot+FanTheHammer+Subterfuge might be the only choice I can actually feel while playing). And they’re adding more passive stuff baseline into the classes on top of it (Slice and Dice). At this point just remove the unimpactful passives and buff the rest of the class…
I wasn’t a hater of the previous ones with tiers every 15 levels, I think the problem was more with the choices Blizz put in there than the format itself. Like, we had choices between 3 talents that passively increased our DPS, of course that’s gonna be boring lol
Now we have the opposite problem with so many passives that it just becomes a continuous mess of procs instead of having those rare-ish moments of “Woah, I procced something!”, and so many cooldowns that you just end up dumping all at the same time anyway.
They really need to rethink leveling and talents as a whole, if you ask me.
