The benefits of a toggle over an icon are:
- it automatically would apply sneak attack to opportunity attacks
- you can combine sneak attack with other powers (e.g., weapon abilities, smite, etc)
- you can directly click an enemy to attack them, rather than having to click the dedicated "sneak attack" icon and then click the enemy
The benefits of a toggle over automatically applying sneak attack on your first successful hit each turn are:
- if for some reason you don't want to apply sneak attack to an enemy (e.g., main-hand attack a low-HP enemy to kill them, saving sneak attack for an off-hand attack against a farther-away enemy), you can do that by turning the toggle off.
Finally someone who knows how to play crpgs and understand how sneak attack should work and all the benefits that come with more control over it.
Toggle would work fine yes...
BUt when it comes to having active icons cos apparently someone - people want an active skill for it.
You can still have active sneak attack if they add a charge Buff for it, that resets after every round.
That way if you miss with sneak attack and the charge buff is not used due to a miss you can still use it on other attacks that same round.
We know Larian can do charges, because the new Lightning charges work the same way and they could be used to fix the sneak.
So all they need to do is make a new Sneak charge Icone that you can click on - (toggle if you will) that lets you use sneak attack i mean it's so simple...
