Waiting for the rogue - How do you handle it?

[Otlecs]

So, I found some time to re-test this evening.

The following is accurate as of 3.2.2 (2nd October 2009):

It is NOT POSSIBLE to sap somebody in Ghost Wolf - the rogue gets "Invalid target".

Fire Nova totem, Magma Totem and Thunderstorm all BREAK STEALTH.

Searing Totem doesn't any longer, and nor does Stoneclaw.

For completeness, I also tested with Earthbind and although the stealthed rogue / druid (I tried with both) gets the slowing effect, they appear to be immune to the root effect and it doesn't break stealth.

It's a shame about Searing Totem, because it lasted the longest and had the longest range. That was probably the problem of course - cheap, long lasting and long range probably = overpowered.

I forsee my guys all huddled around their 8 yard Magma Totems!

Perfect thats what i do in bgs. I lay down magma and fire nova and it keeps any stealth from coming to me. They wont attack if they cant get element of surprise. But also even tho hes stealth when they get to close you can still hear him. Just turn up ur abience and pay attention for the woosh sound. Youll know hes in the area then drop fire nova and if hes that close it will pull him out.

That's some awesome news! How did you test it if I may ask? Because I'm really sure quite recently I've been sapped in wolf.

EDIT: Sadly just asked a rogue to try it in duel and I was sapped in Ghost Wolf :/

[Multibocks]

weird! Maybe it only works in duels?

[BobGnarly]

Yeah, I was going to say the same thing. I just got sapped last week by a rogue in AV.

I wonder what's up?

This makes no sense to me and I can't offer an explanation.

I just this second tried it again, to make sure I didn't do something wrong in my test, and got the same result (combat log snapshot attached).

It's odd, to say the least, that some of you see different behaviour.

Maybe a rogue glyph or talent?

[Otlecs]

And I got sapped in AV today.

*sigh*

When you tried the sap were you out of combat?

Other things might be that you were duelling someone from the same side... might act differently than normal pvp.

Perhaps go to the arena in nagrand and fight there.
