Which is the real key to rogues, the ability to completely reset agro if they go too far.
Vanish, on a 5 minute base cooldown, does not always do this. It has been broken since 1.9. Feign death, on a 30 seconds cooldown, does though unless it's resisted.

I've had it not clear aggro plenty of times, though granted I have barely logged on my rogue in the past 2 or 3 months, maybe they fixed that?. Most notable was when we were learning rag and I pulled aggro, vanished, ambushed and he was right back on me. Regardless, you still can't vanish and cable someone, while a hunter can FD/cable, also FD/eat&drink or trap. But again, this is all part of why I quit my rogue. Got a 2667 chain lightning crit in AV the other day, you can do that sort of thing with a mail/shield wearing healer but not with a pure damage class... :confused:

lol fvck shmanas, im actually gonna roll one when teh expansion comes out

and rag is diff, if you pull agro its normally because the tank is knocked back and he then agros teh next person to hit him, whic is normall a rogue IE myself and i like U end up getting pwnt

if you wait for the OT or anyone else to go in first you shouldent ever have that issue

Yeah I know - but I specifically asked our tanks and they hadn't been knocked back at that point. In fact, one of them hadn't gotten knocked back that entire attempt. We had two tanks on him full time, not an OT waiting in the back.
