Q u o t e:
Human racial ftw


Did the drani, the gnome and night elf also get that racial? They are all spotting rogues from great distances.

If someone is stealthing within 10 yards of you in your frontal cone of vision, you can see them sometimes.

You can't Always see them, and sometimes when you do see them they will stay stealthed but visible for 6 seconds, or up to 25 yards away if you're stationary.

That's just how stealth works. Try not to run in front of people or else they're going to see you. I've been sapped from behind and the rogue appears on my camera behind me, stealthed, walking away from me. Nothings really changed from what I've seen.

Perhaps you had FF on you and just thought you were stealthed but you weren't, perhaps you took dot damage or bleed damage or walked through a flare.

Someone hitting you from 7 to 8 yards away should not be surprising. That's a normal distance to see someone stealthed if you catch them in your frontal cone moving away from you. You don't instantly disappear as soon as you cross the threshold, you lag in your stealth form for a little while, often less than a second, while moving out of their stealth detection field.

You know, I bet it was the change to resilience! Think about it. Basically stealth is a very weak AOE that you have a chance to resist right? Well, the people with more resil gear will now, because of the changes to reliance have a much higher chance to see you at much higher ranges.

Er, yeah, read the posts before you reply. We are talking 10, 20, 30 foot away and no one has been able to do that until recently. Think I'm off my rocker? Here, have a heaping helping of video evidence. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Udi8DDXjYJw

Anyone know if my resilience theory could have any merit? Ideas?

I was charged and blinded out of stealth (from 10+ yards away) last weekend when I was arenaing.

When I was blinded I think I still had the vanish buff too.

I think it's a bug that's been around for a lil bit. It prob has to do with latency. I have only seen it happen twice, maybe 3 times and I kind of laughed at myself like "wow this rogue is about to get pwnt and he dont even know it".

Not sure what caused it, but I was 100% sure the rogues I saw were stealthed (had buff, and were semi see through) and I was pretty far away from them, one time was even 20+ yards.

edit: this is definitely not a new bug in the last 2 patches, I haven't had this happen in at least 4 months.
