Today trying to run away from a hunter, used vanish + sprint with no debuffs, hunter lost track of me even flared different direction suddently pet starts running at me attacking me and naturally removing stealth.
This sounds like a huge bug/problem for rogues removing the purpose of vanish spell. Did anyone had similar situation with enemy pets? Is this a bug/know issue? Doesnt seems natural to me.
Yes I have experienced the same.
To be fair, vanish was inconsistent regarding pet aggro and aggro table wipe up until WotLK.
But yeah it’s a bug.
in my expirience Vanish and stealth doest work if someone casting spell at you, even if you are not in combat yet.
back in Vanilla it has simmilar issues, which was fixed at some point so when stealth or vanish is activate, the potential attacked lose you from target. ATM it is not working so if someone start casting spell at you and you use Vanish, the cast will be completed and when hit, it will cansel vanish/stealth. I hope they going to fix it at some point as they did in Vanilla.
it might be something to do with spell batching, I dont know, but for sure atm vanish/stealth is not instant spell and some time take time for potential attacker around you to lose you as target, it just appear as instant as the toltip says.
Thanks for the feedback
I notice this on most recent classic hotfixes (22/nov):
Maybe this fix also envolves hunter pets!
I saw the same thing 2 week ago on BRM. A Rogue run, vanish, then Hunter pet follow him and unstealth him.
Happened all the time in vannila as well and it was mainly down to Lag, but I would imagine it’s down to about three factors now,
1 Spell batching… if the hunters pet had cast say bite/rake on you as you vanish but they both went through where the bite should of hit you pre vanish and then dropped off it might still be trying to chase you.
2 Hunters pets are as bugged as hell right now, I mean I’m talking up to two seconds to respond to anything, it’s normal pet, normal pet, pet stands still for three seconds then zooms around the world like it’s speed hacking coming out of a lag spike, it can get so bad it’s like your pet has wind fury… nothing for 4 seconds then 3 hits in one. All while your doing constant damage.
3 if the hunter has his pet on aggressive even if your in stealth and you pass close to them they will attack you. I’ve had it happen more than a few times. You know when you pass a rogue in stealth and you get the sound effect and the split second glimpse of the character model… ya well if you pass that close to a pet on aggressive it will attack for some reason. Dunno if that’s a bug or designed. So maybe the pet bug had the pet tracking you, it hit one of its freezes and when it “caught up” it might have run into or around where you where?
I got a rogue and hunter, didnt experience it in classic but definitely i believe you.
Briefly, no surprising. Some skills in wow are traditionally problematic like vanish, charge etc.
At the beta&beginning of bfa, there was a stealth bug again. Sometimes we rogues were loosing stealth with no reason in group combats&bgs. They solved it 2 months, because nobody knew the reason. At the end we discovered it was voidwalker’ consume shadow ability.
I advice, open a ticket and define the situation clearly, check your combat log and give them enough data for that occurence.
What kind of pet it was? Gorilla, boar or screecher by any chance?
If hunter put huntermark on a rogue, he cant vanish thats what i experience. I have a hunter too and pet can keep attacking.
Vanish is certainly not working correctly - multiple occasions in PvP and PvE situations yesterday where vanish did nothing
Vanish acts as an improved stealth mode. Vanish clears hunters mark. But going ooc and restealth doesnt.
