It does indeed require a separate roll, and that's a downside.
On the other hand...
You can attack a separate foe from the main attack, which makes it a great minion killer, or lets you attack someone else if your main attack drops a foe. You can use it as a minor action even if you don't take a main attack (for whatever reason), allowing you (for instance) to double move and still make a small attack. You can use it to try to deal a little damage even if your main attack misses. The rogue/ranger/warlock extra damage cannot do any of these.
So yes, it's got the downside of requiring two rolls, but it's a
lot more versatile. I think that's a pretty fair trade.
