Rogue 1.12 Preview

Er, melodrama?

Hehe, that's why my first post was tagged with [bitter].:)

For a start, faerie fire isn't a movement-impairing effect, so wouldn't be affected by the vanish change; however, that's moot since it makes it impossible for the rogue to stealth or vanish anyway (we receive a lovely little "Immune" message). Think of mob's "banish" skill; it's a magic-based debuff, but it can't be dispelled from players because they're immune. FF will get slightly more useful rather than less.

Umm, did you actually read the change that has been made to vanish? "Will now remove effects that allow the caster to remain awair of the rogues presence". I take that to mean fairy fire as well as the quoted hunter's mark and mind vision. Vanish has always removed movement impairing effects. The new Improved Sprint talent, however, now gives sprint a 100% chance to remove snares. Hence, my Howard Hawks turn. Probably my poor phrasing that caused the misunderstanding.:)

As I said before, the true impact of these changes on pvp won't be felt until rogues have a chance to play with their new toys and everyone else has a chance to think of work around strategies.:)

PS. Currently, rogues can use the vanish skill while affected by fairy fire. They won't gain stealth from it, but it will remove snares (like entangling roots) on them.
