I can’t get over how often stealth doesn’t seem to work, DoTs knocking me out of stealth, vanish not actually stopping me from being being knocked out of stealth, enemies being able to target me through stealth and enemies not even being effected by stealth and chase and attack as if vanish is wasn’t used.
half the time it feels like it stops you from being detected by enemies and the other half it just makes your character model transparent, I understand not wanting rogues to never be attacked but why does the main feature of the class not work so often?
Before anyone says it, no I’m not getting to close to the enemies

DoT’s taking you out of stealth isn’t stealth not working.
Complaining about that is like me jumping off a roof flapping my arms as I plummet to the ground grumbling about flight not working.

it kind of is if I’m using vanish to escape combat and have it not do anything, since the enemy just has to stand there for a second and look around to counter it
You dont know how OP stealth is before u start maining a champ that dont got stealth.
Stealth get you out of/not into alot of s**t
Edit: My invisibility spell have saved me so many times I cant even count it if I tried.

I mean the spell says what it does doesn’t it?
“Allows you to vanish from sight, entering stealth while in combat. For the first 3 sec after vanishing, damage and harmful effects received will not break stealth. Also breaks movement impairing effects.”
So you get 3 seconds free to get away. The skill for you is to not vanish with dots on of longer duration than 3 seconds or to vanish and get out of dodge within 3 seconds?
You seem to think “vanish” means “lol I vanished I can never be found again!”

I’m just fed up of being in stealth then getting hit by attacks from people no where near me and being knocked out or kill an enemy that put a DoT on me and not be able to actually use stealth before someone else runs up attacks me
and I already said that it’s pointless since DoTs just make it so it doesn’t let me get away, which is the actual point of vanish
Yeah, I think stealth should be removed from the game, keep it like some moba buff where you disappear for 5 seconds to deal increased damage on your next strike, maybe as a part of cloak of shadows, there is absolutely no reason for this ability to exist …

You could always use CoS to remove dots when stealth

Stealth is fantastic in Eye of the Storm as a Hunter or Druid (With Bursting Shot and Typhoon respectively).
Sending unsuspecting people flying off the middle into the void is ridiculously satisfying.

I’m waiting for the OP to complain about flare. I can see it now “Why give someone an ability to see me when stealthed”

As above, pop cloak of shadows to remove the dots then hit vanish.

Using stealth is all about picking your target and hitting them quickly and then getting away fast. If your seen and attacked than you are history as it really should be.
Stealth is all about hit and run!

actually getting too close, AoEs and hunter as a whole is fine, the problem is how frequently stealth and vanish don’t seem to work for one reason or another
Kinda funny hearing “you are history” from one of the games more tanky classes while not entierly out of tools ofcourse. Rogues are extremely tanky these days, especially in 1v1 combat.
Inbetween the offensive control and defensive utility they can pretty much be the most tanky dps spec in the game. The only class I whould say truly outshines them are a Demon Hunter.
Stealth are just that extra safety net which ensures they will forever be my most dissliked class both to play against and play as.

thing is it’s never 1v1, it’s always 1-3 v an entire raid group
Then don’t fight them? At least you have the choice to get away compared to most classes in the game. If I can use stealth to avoid a whole raid on my resto druid it should not be an issue on a rogue.
Just Rocket Jump → Cloak(if magic dots) → Vanish → Sprint(if needed) and even if they broke stealth due to a bleed or w/e you will be so far off you can manually restealth. Just pay attention to AoE’s and choose a path where they can’t predict you will move to when you enter stealth.
Alt. just let them end you quickly, then stealth away after a ressurection(a option most of us don’t have while they sit on our corpses).

I’m trying this but I just seem to be hit by everything in this game stealth or not, today was the day that I found out that moonfire is either an AoE or targets through stealth, I don’t play much druid so I don’t know for certain but after getting hit by moonfire by a guy not even looking my direction from too far away for normal AoEs and you start to wonder if stealth works even when it does stay up
