Ghostly Strike, does it have a place in PvP?Follow

I'd say yes, i'm a 52 rogue and a 58 rogue got a opening on me, i'm down to half health so i ghostly strike and pop evasion, we was both shadow step spec but managed to get him to 1% before a warlock killed me (no pots or healing) so i'd say the extra dodge helped me alot.. just try to gouge and KS them when it wears off. For 1 talent point i love it :D

not sure about the higher lvl rogues but i couldnt live with out it

I like GS, it's decent damage, plus it's cool down is SIGNIFICANTLY shorter than evasion. Althought it's only 15%, every bit helps.

I hit GS every time it's up, simply to keep the dodge going (and it adds a CB).

There is no dodge ceiling for activated dodge effects, only for passive dodge.

It could also be useful if you use the Castrandom macro thats floating around here somewhere.



That would probably help out a bit for using it instead of having to do some crazy hand dancing on the keyboard.

...overpower...

anyone who skips GS and is a hemo rogue is a @#%^in ******, theres no reason to skip it at all

is that 1 point in camo ever worth it? thats the one pet peeve of mine i just dont understand about sub rogues; that dodge chance will win you rogue v rogue mirrors if it boils down to 1v1 in the 2v2 arena world



dodginwhitehitsisbettertheneatingthemplustheoverpowersANYWAYS wut? ^_^

if thats such a concern, use GS the moment you get overpowered then... but its active enough where you should just dodge what you can anyways

i dont use GS and evasion at the same time though usually

granted i dont do arena beyond 2v2, and thats rare at best nowadays... but ill do this in 1v1 or bgs...

ghostly, wait 7
gouge, wait duration
evasion, wait 15
kidney shot, wait duration
ghostly, 7 seconds more

thats near 40 seconds of increased anti-melee.... not always full power dodging, but damn near 50% avoidance between dodge and parry

it helps in the non-serious pvp / 1v1 sh*t if thats what your into

My comments were just an opinion in a general way. Not directly aimed specifically at Sub builds. If you're spec'ing sub (ShS or Hemo), then it makes much more sense. With a Deep Combat or Mut build it becomes less useful IMO.

Of course, I'm not extensively experienced with it (tried it out for a couple of weeks in BGs) which is why I encouraged the OP to experiment and post results.

Thanks for the down-rate.

i dont downrate people, but ya... not me buuuuddy

*sweatdrops* So I'm an effing idiot. Thanks for correcting me and maybe next time I PvP I'll do a bit better cause of it...if I ever PvP again that is.

It stacks to 95%, IIRC. So if you have over 30% dodge base, then you don't gain some of the benefit of GS.

TBH though, I'd rather sit at 95% than be at 80%.

haha, i wouldnt go thhhhhhat far... your more like the friend who needed a place to stay 'for just a few days'

then 6 months later, im like... dude... the fffuuuuucccckkkk

but your all like, look what i can do! and you hit 2k in arena


then i kick your *** out on the street ^_-
