I feel like I am better than most rogues when I play for the simple fact that I read Theo's threads.
Lies ! The dark S4 lord hates the lack of paragraphs ! Correct it fast or he'll come and insult your armory page !
Anyways, i dont see you having any great tactics against mages ?
If i open on a mage:
premed -> shadowstep -> garrote. He'll either iceblock or stand and fight (usually not blink unless they panic).
If he iceblocks, use up whatever combo points you had on the mage for SnD then nuke pet.
If he stands there, build up CP's for a 5 point expose armor. If he blinks use sprint, if he uses the ice spell that slows you, either only use sprint or use CloS as well (CloS is usually not necessary).
If you want to easy mode it, wait till your shadowstep CD is gone, then vanish and shadowstep CS, by that time he probably won't be able to blink anymore. If he does blink you can use prep, then vanish shadowstep Garrote or CS or even Sap.
I don't have any problem with mages anymore but then again i'm only in the lower ranks of arena.
If you have one set of cooldowns you should still win unless the mage is very skilled imho.
Feyras, can you tell me how you kill the rogues easily as a mage ? So i can counter it when they try it on me >:D
