On Use for Slice and Dice?

Can’t really see a need for slice and dice being an active ability anymore with the changes auto slice and dice on finisher buff.

I was thinking of a redesign of the on use portion turned into a channel. Longer you channel the more time you add to the buff duration. During the channel we get some sick animation of the rogue flipping and twirling their weapons around almost like a taunt animation. And truly that’s all i want it for. Some way to add style points before killing off a foe.

This would also be something we could spam pre-pull or while gaurding a flag. Any OG rogue remember swirly ball? Aka detect trap spam? This be something like that for fun.

Think Indiana Jones gun vs sword scene lol.

FYI From the PTR notes. For what it’s worth.

It looks like SnD will now be a passive once you learn Cut to the Chase.

The button still exist. It’s not a true passive but essentially activating slice and dice is a waste moving forward unless you have extra combo points floating you want to burn for CDR.

You say you can’t see a need for it…so you propose something you know that would take extra resources to animate just to extend the duration on the buff?

Most people are tired of this on the bars, and right when we finally get to remove it, you want to request extra work to keep it around as basically an emote?

I really don’t understand people sometimes.

So does this mean Cut to the Chase will automatically grant Slice and Dice? Guess im not understanding the wording.

Yes.

Cut to the Chase now grants Slice and Dice duration, instead of requiring an existing Slice and Dice to extend.

I know right? Nuke SnD off our bars! Don’t send the devs mixed messages ffs.

If I need something to do while carrying a flag (as a Rogue??) I’ll improvise with space bar.

I’m curious to know how this is going to interact with the Recuperator talent and how its been essentially not working as it was since BFA. Seems like if they don’t fix it this may end up rendering it mostly useless unless you feel like debuffing then rebuffing yourself and continuing to press it lol

The talent, like Thistle Tea, just needs to be deleted.

All I’m saying is the new update, you really never need to push the button again which I am all for.

I’m just saying if they gonna keep the button around make some fun with it. My suggestion is not taking anything away from not keeping it passive. Functionally it would work the same as on PTR plus the OPTION to prime slice and dice before openers.

Adding animation and all that development would definitely make my request a pipe dream. But I’ve seen my ideas come to fruition time to time. Is Blizz actually seeing my post? very likely not lol.

Fixed it for you.

they can just replace it with recuperate so you can dump your CP into a heal and that will be that
no more recuperator bugs

if they are concerned about the attack speed loss and all the implications (with poison application, etc etc), either a talent or a passive that says 50% increased attack speed is all that’s needed (we even have one that can do this, the ghost of acrobatic strikes)
