Don't give us this 'we dps real well so vanish doesn't really need to work'. Vanish is a huge part of Rogues, you can't just pass it off as something that isn't really an issue.

Just today I was in Arathi getting the Honor for some Relentless off pieces and I was Mortal Strike'd out of stealth. Yes, the Warrior saw me use vanish so he MS'd and got me out.

Secondly this Mage saw me use Vanish so he popped slow, and boom. I'm out.

Not to mention every single time I vanish with Melee, I get hit out by auto attack. This is REDICULOUS. You would NEVER let Paladin's Bubble have this drawback. You would NEVER let Mages Ice Block have this drawback. You would NEVER let this happen. But I guess because Rogues are dpsing well in ToC, we don't need Vanish.

Fascinating logic, Ghostcrawler. First time I've ever seen you say something incredibly stupid. I've usually agreed with you about Rogues needing toning, but this is rediculous.

We have a change for Vanish in place for 3.3. You will get to try it out soon (tm). As promised, if it proves a significant buff to rogues, we may have to compensate elsewhere. Just because it hasn't worked as intended doesn't mean it will be balanced when it does.
