The developers have identified at least one issue with Cloak of Shadows and Vanish, which at times can cause these abilities to work incorrectly. These issues are under continued investigation and we will post more information as soon as it becomes available.

Please, remember that there are situations where Vanish can be broken by attacks due to client/server latency, this in an unfortunate limitation of our game and it will not change in the foreseeable future.

Nice to see you're looking into it, however something tells me CloS will be terribly broken next patch and will stay that way. (aka stealth nerf).

Remove AR from Preparation.
Fix Vanish.

It wont be a 'limitation of the game' if you add a simple loophole.

One second of immunity from damage when you press vanish or stealth. DoTs etc can keep on ticking afterwards.

That's all there is to it. I'll take the 3 years worth of salary wasted on development thank you very much.

Even easier to code than 1 second immunity. It keeps the edge in vanish that it requires some skill to use (if I WANT to vanish I usually can); add the same bit of code that hunters feign death uses to make the guy chasing us loose target (same with pets, the hunter/lock would need to target us and issue "attack" command to pet again).

Ill take those 3 years instead of the dude above please - mine has more style ^^

Comeon try to think of something more creative atleast.

This is getting kind of old.

How about immagineiry pixies have infested the Blizzard wow database and are making rogues go out of stealth.

Rouges do it from the face.

It wouldn't even need to be a 1-2 sec damage immunity. Just give us a 1-2 sec buff that makes us remain stealthed even if taking damage.

Would be perfectly balanced.

Yeah I was just doing AB now and i was fighting a rogue... got pretty far away with him rooted by druid and i had no dots on me or anything so i used vanish. This is what my combat log looked like:

Tadb's Crippling Poison is removed by Tadb's Escape Artist
Tadb performs Escape Artist on Tatb.
You perform Vanish.
You gain Stealth.
You gain Vanish.
Just kidding. Stealth fades from you.
Vanish fades from you.
Your Hemorrhage hits Tatb for 599.

I was nowhere near him, i didn't take any damage and there was no one else around. I just randomly got kicked out of stealth so i went back to hitting him.

Tsantilas - 70 warrior - Doomhammer pve

What about when stealth suddenly fades?

I can stand stealthed guarding gold mine in AB, suddenly I loose stealth, without even touching my keyboard or no enemies around. Happened in arena too. Really annoying.

They're most likely fixing the "bug" that allows you to vanish and avoid intercept and such, it can't possibly be something good.
