Ethereals as an example inspiration for hero talent aesthetic modifications?

Hello!

This may not be the top priority due to other bugs, but since many rogue hero talents are mechanical and do not add a lot of cool aesthetics to rotations, and as such, casters are becoming increasingly appealing to many due to the aesthetic appeal of their rotations (mage phoenix, priest void black hole, etc), it could be worth investigating potential sources of inspiration for ability aesthetics for rogues.

Since some ethereals are working with us to combat void forces, and they have very distinct and interesting animations, this could be one source of aesthetic inspirations for some of our spells/hero talents (especially sub rogues). What other sources (races etc), both in and outside of the Warcraft universe, could be interesting inspirations for upping the flare of generic pokey-stabby rogue rotations, should this be of future interest to players?

Thank you!

This post has more thought and creativity than most of the hero talent stuff rogues have gotten so far.
