Have it replace the rune slot for saber slash and main gauche. This fixes the aoe threat problem for tanking. Would be nice to switch to fan of knives during trash packs. Back to saber slash for bosses. Such a simple fix to multiple problems.

I think it’s okay that Rogues don’t have strong AOE damage, I would rather something like Main Gauche transfering combo points to current target to avoid the problem of losing CPs (and therefore Blade Dance) from tabbing to pick up aggro or interrupts. Also making Blade Dance give a flat parry chance so you can refresh it even if you’re casting it with fewer combo points than before.

Rogues do not need fan of knives. They do well enough to tab target tank. Just stop going for high cbp finishers and only tank 3-4 mobs. If you lose aggro that’s fine. Spend your points on a snd and then taunt back and ss. If you’re struggling to keep threat it’s a skill issue.

Fan of knive is probably in the top 5 most boring abilities wow has ever had. Could we maybe think of something better?

How about shuriken toss on your belt?
How about a rune that modifies riposte. Where after you parry an attack you not only disarm the enemy but also redirect the damge they do to the nearest enemy with capped damage.

We will have to wait and see what we get next phase.
Ayo yo, lets just add all that homogenization to the game that we don’t like from retail. Yeah, that’ll make classic great.

AOE is fun. Just ask anyone who has it.

You don’t like AOE?
Btw, this is just some random level 10 I have logged into the forum. Wasn’t intending to make a statement about paladins 
Riposte is not combo point or target dependent, Main Gauche and Blade Dance increase parry which increases ripostes, don’t be one of those people trying to Saber Slash for threat, Sinister Strike and Riposte do more instantly.
Switch targets when you have energy to add combo points or riposte is up.
I was talking to Phallious. He’s a 25 Paladin using Divine Storm crying about Rogues potentially getting FOK…
The height of hypocricy.

This is just numerically untrue
100% +15 weapon damage on sinister strike, versus saber slash’s 100% weapon plus bleed every 2 secs, Riposte is 10 energy and pairs with any number of things to increase threat, riposte and SS together is all you need to secure target 1.
I’m not playing a paladin in SoD I’m playing a rogue lol. This was my old classic tune i never finished leveling.
While I prefer to have the combo points on the rogue and not the target…
How about a rune that when you switch targets you shoot a pistol at that target based on the number of combo points left behind…
