Quote:Considering the scenario of a rogue grouping with a mage and a paladin or warrior, and two mobs were in sight and a potential third which might or might not be activated, the mage could sleep one and if two came running instead of the anticipated one, the rogue could sap the trailer. That is no longer possible since the third is considered "in combat" and cannot be sapped.
Good point. Changed that in the post.
Quote:Also, a common tactic suggested is using gouge to get behind an enemy to backstab. I have found this to be very hard to execute.
I think most people who attempt the gouge backstab combo wait till they have very high energy before starting the combo.
I guess just before full energy would be the best time to do it. If you let it reach full, you may run the risk of letting energy 'go to waste' and decrease your potential DPS.
Just before full would definitely allow you to the the combo. Gouge (45) + BS (60) = 105. With at least 3 seconds waiting that is 105-30=85 energy.
