Is Lacerating Strikes any good for Rogues?
So I kinda like the idea bleeding an enemy to death, but it pretty much seems like this skill can't do a lot of damage. I gather that bleed doesn't stack which... does anyone else think that's kinda weird? I mean, I'm thinking that in order to get an impressive bleed, it would make more sense to wield a big heavy weapon, like a greatsword, in order to get the best possible damage out of this, but that doesn't feel like a rogue-ish thing to do. I guess I might end up just doing that anyway, but it just seems to me that maybe this ability should allow stacking bleeds if you're using daggers. Maybe make some kind of upper limit of how many bleeds or how much damage you can cause through bleeds with this skill if we're worried about it becoming OP.

Otherwise, if I'm sticking with daggers then it seems to me that the only reasonable use for this is to get a bleed for the sake of Scoundrel's Strategies.

Is that it, or does anyone know a way to get good damage out of this skill with a dagger rogue?

e main attraction is misdirection.
you literally make enemy randomly throw skill on tiles around you instead of you.

rogue has little survival choices.
thus misdirection is must have.

bleed is situational especially you play original campaign.
dreadfell is full of undead most of them immune to poison and bleed.

plus. rogue prefer super burst damage because it has low durability. at level 30 your first prodigy should be aoe attack which kill so fast you hardly use any poison or bleed except on bosses.

If bleed damages Bone Shield then it has it's use. Otherwise it's only for the talent that synergizes with it.
