About rogues

I dont know much about rogues, except hate the damn cowards (mage here, you know what i mean). Last night we fought a guild and one of their rogues could kill 1,2,3,4 of us without losing his invisibility (people in front of me dying one at time), is that posible?

A combination of siege lag (porting) and a rogue in hide does that.....I would rather a p/s porting like hell than a rogue...at least you have slight warning at times.

You can kill and enter hide all within 1 second as well, making it seem at times as though they never leave hide. And as for eyes/flamers a rogue can just pop Escape (rogue set skill) and they can just run past eyes/flamers unseen in hide for 10 seconds, really handy skill at times ^.^

Yes, it is using the siege lag and broken global cooldown. It does not only apply to rogues that (mis)use this. Ice bladers are also well known for using this.

Realistically, hide skills for the rogue like vanish and escape could be taken out of the game with near zero effect on pve. The last time a rogue really used those in pve was for ZS back in chapter 3. So clearly any rogues that get up in arms about those skills being changed, is just a pvper. It amazes me to no end how 1/24th of the game is a majority of what the changes and mechanics are based on.

some people actually macro hide after each of their skills making their time visable very small if unnoticable at time

why would you want vanish out? it's still effected by eyes and has a whooping cd of 10mins. As for escape I'd be fine without if s/wd and s/m didnt have a similar skill, they arent even freaking off-rogues!

You're talking about getting rid of the only root removal that a rogue has, escape has a place in both pvp and pve.

Vanish has an extremely long cooldown and is useful too, but the only thing it's useful for is removing yourself from combat when you're glitched into combat mode. Which happens way too often than it should both in and out of PvE.

Either way I don't get why you're mad over a 2 minute CD skill that is also a rogue's only defense against eyes, you'd be completely disabling rogues inside pvp if you took escape out.... invis pots on the other hand let rogues kill scouts, which is messed up. Though there are also some balance issues in general with scout skills like Charged Chop.

If a rogue pops out of hide, makes a kill, and does not get engaged by anyone else, he can go back into hide immediately. If rogue one-hits you or one of your friends you may not even see him going in and out of hide. Skilled geared rogues will do that to you all day. Expect nothing less.
Cowardliness is to sit on an invis tower and spam ice blades. Using hide is what assassins were meant to do.

R/wl elites gives vanish a 60 sec CD. So r/wl can hide, vanish, and escape. Deadly rogue combo.

I think you misspelled "Playing smart." If I have the option betwen standing out in the open as an easy target or being in an invis tower, it would just be dumb not to be in the invis tower.

I also think you overestimate skill in pvp, it mainly comes down to how the team works together, gear, and not being stupid. Just because the rogue isn't dumb doesn't make what he does require skill.

Oh, I hurt someone's feelings. I know, the invis tower was just standing there. No idea where it came from. Why not use it, right? And by teamwork I am sure you don't mean getting your lowbies bring an put invis towers everywhere.
Try playing knight, rogue, warrior, scout in siege and see how it is on the other side and whether you need skill and what not. Everyone can play a P/S in siege effectively. Heck, I have a 200k HP P/S too (who doesn't at this point?). Very few can play knight and be OP in siege.

Not sure where you see feelings being hurt, I just simply disagreed with you. I made the note about rogues because I also have one that I play in siege, not much skill required, just have to not be a dumb rogue. I'm still not seeing a reason why someone wouldnt want to be in an illusion tower if it's there, that's just playing smart as i said...Just as I don't see a reason to not place eyes around for rogues, placing flames to fear, etc.

I've played many classes, there isnt all that much skill required in PvP regardless of the class.

Where do you get the idea that Rogue is hard to play in siege? Hide -> sneak attack -> Lowblow -> hide is not that difficult.

Oh, man, another P/S philosopher. No, killing P/S is not hard. It's just hide - low blow. In theory. Try doing it on a W/K or S/K, or Wd/x.

Original post called a rogue going against 2,3,4 players a coward.
Now all butthurt invis tower abusers want to pitch in.

Invis tower, phoenix, GM food, and soul bound from an alt people are even bigger cowards. Just saying.

This just in from tyrr: Anyone who uses siege defenses or buffs are now cowards. Also if you are a p/s, your opinion no longer matters.

We get it, you're a troll, now please stop.

How were any of your replies relevant to the thread?
The question was can rogues use hide. My answer was yes. Accidentally, I hurt your feelings answering the original question.

My reply was a direct response to something that you wrote in the thread, which I disagreed with because it was a silly statement to make. I then supported my statement with examples, you know like how normal people defend their opinions/arguments. I'm still unsure why you are trying so hard to impose "hurt feelings" on my behalf though...

If your guild's siege strat is to never place invis towers, flame towers, etc that's fine (doesn't make it the best strat and doesn't make people who place defenses "abusers"). Besides, a rogue using escape can bypass it anyway =)

Invis towers make classes with no invisibility skills play like rogues. Why not just give Hide to everyone? Clearly, everyone wants to play an assassin, but then turn around and complain that rogues are cowards.
