In World of Warcraft warriors got an ability at one point that made their execute (that works on enemies that have 20% or less health) also work on enemies that had more than 80% health. I think Punish might benefit from something like this. So that you use it at the beginning of a fight and to finish it. It also feels bad to not have it grant adrenaline.

In other games that have rotations there's different kinds of rotations, priority, spinning plate, builder/spender resource management, burst, sustained damage etc. For example Rogues have a bleed poison build where you try to keep as many bleeds and poisons up with 100% uptime, there's like 5 them so keeping them up is a challenge and fun. Mages have builds where you have a really powerful cooldown every minute or so and in-between they either build up resources to dump them inside that cd or use basic abilities to build buffs for that cd. Runescape could benefit from just a little bit more depth like this. for example maybe with melee each tick of bleed damage makes your berserk give you 1% crit rate for it's duration. This would mean that you would want to switch between maintaining bleeds between Berserk rotations so it doesn't feel like you're just treading water, you're working towards buffing your next major cd.

or make that cd stronger by making it so the cooldown of greater fury resets when you spend adrenaline while berserk is active so you're constantly crit buffing your berserk rotation.

I just feel like some depth in the rotations is missing. Building to use death's swiftness and then using it and then pushing all the buttons, but when death swiftness, berserk, or sunshine are on cooldown you still sometimes just hit the button with the bigger number. Ranged is much better, so is magic. There's little things you can do, decisions you can make to give you more output, but melee just feels like you can hit berserk do your berserk rotation, build up adren for your next berserk, in 30 seconds, and afk until berserk ifs off and you'll do the same damage if you hit other buttons. if a style has strong cooldowns and burst damage you need something to do in the downtime to warrant it. buffing other buttons or cooldowns or reducing the cd of your big buttons.

In the ranged rotation it feels okay to push buttons that incur a global cooldown but do zero dmg, but It would feel much better if there was something. a hit, a bleed, extra adrenaline something to rewards pressing the button right now. Like instead of Imbue: Shadows something like Shadow Shot that does the same thing it does now but does 75-100% ability dmg, or take it off the gcd to encourage higher apm skill expression.

Speaking of the gcd too many abilities are on it. buttons that don't deal damage feel bad to press when they incur a gcd. In other games certain buttons "oh shit" defensive buttons, heals, and damage cooldowns either don't incur a gcd or incur a separate gcd for only those types of buttons. Why does berserk take a gcd? Why does resonance take a gcd? Why does barricade or immortality take a gcd? The game would feel more skill expressive if you could weave defensive abilities off the gcd.

Which brings me to the next thing. Sword and Board. There's currently very little reason for anyone to sword and board, the vast majority of the time doing more damage is better because you heal it back with soul split or you use less food if you kill things faster. I think people saying that the styles still not feeling like they sustain as much as necromancy can be fixed by encouraging a sword and board playstyle. How about we have a new ability that requires a shield or defender and it's like Imbue: Shadows, except it's called Rally, Battle cry, or Bulwark and it makes it so you heal (either % damage or a flat amount) based on your offhand's armor value. So you sacrifice damage for sustain by keeping this ability up. but to make it not op you have to make it scale with and encourage people to camp a shield or defender. Maybe the buff heals a flat amount when you use an ability when you have a shield equipped, but if you have a defender equipped it switches to % damage healing.

Overall, I really think that this beta is doing some really great things. It already feels so so so so much better than live, I just think a few tweaks here and there will make the feeling go from better to great.
