I like the rogue class, but find the Slice and Dice ability a bit of a chore–especially when moving between mobs and quest objectives. I realize that it is an important ability, but is there any build or spec that can minimize the need for constant uptime? I am only really concerned with leveling and playing solo, so I don’t really mind if I am intentionally gimping myself.
Thanks!
Slice is a good ability and it is something you’ll need to be successful.
Increases poison application , increases weapon enchant procs, trinket procs, increases auto attack damage by a lot, supplies energy regen for all 3 specializations.
All 3 of us have talents that make it very easy to maintain SnD so that is not an issue.
- cut to the chase refreshes snd when you envenom on assassination
- fatal flourish and roll the bones and maybe some other stuff on combat rogue give a crap ton of energy as you auto attack and can refresh snd
For us Subtlety rogues, premeditation gives snd when you ambush someone, shadow techniques gives energy regen on auto attacks. We used to have energetic stabbing but that was taken away for no reason.
Control is king - pvp talent allows for snd grabted in cheap shot and kidney shot restores energy as well. Check that out and may your adventures be filled with fun dude.

Thanks Eridian!
I invested in premeditation and it definitely is an improvement not having to use the ability for those occasional short kills that only last a few seconds.

Here’s an Assassination build I use for PvP. I only use SnD when I feel I need it.

No sweat, energy regeneration sucks for all 3 of us since they tuned it down on PTR before DF release. It didn’t feel as necessary to have Thistle tea at the time. Find your style above all else and have fun, don’t chase meta nonsense bud.
Welcome to Rogues, represent our kind well!
