Ghostcrawler Addresses Vanish Change in PTR 3.3
Greg "Ghostcrawler" Street said on Sunday that a change to Vanish was coming in patch 3.3, but didn't provide any details. Now that patch 3.3 is on the PTR, we know what it means for rogues: "For the first second after this ability is used, neither Vanish nor Stealth can be broken by taking damage or being the victim of a hostile spell or ability."
As you can imagine, there's plenty of arguments on the official forums about whether this fix is going to make rogues overpowered or not. Dubbing it "Roguerage," Ghostcrawler popped into a thread today to explain the reasoning behind the change: "We need to make Vanish work as advertised. As I've said, if this results in a massive net buff for rogues, we will compensate in other ways. ... We just want to compensate for server lag, missile travel time and the like."
Ghostcrawler admits the one-second window may be too generous to add to Vanish, but reminded players that's why these changes are put through the testing process in the first place. What do you think about the Vanish update? Is one second too much or just right?
