CoS + feint has worked extremely well for me in fights like mimron p1, IC, and VOA. Even thou it's only 90% for CoS the feint is kind of a safety net to help in the end.

mimron p1, IC, and VOA

One of those doesn't belong....

Mimiron P1, Shock Blast is 100,000 damage. Feint isn't a safety net - it won't reduce the damage to survivable levels.

On the other two, you're correct, feint is enough to keep you alive regardless of CoS, CoS just helps minimize the healing you force your healers to do.

Doesn't feint work on mines? I thought it did, but it's been a while since I tried it since I don't expect to hit them any more. Also regarding shock blast, CloS does not* (see edit) work on it, although I've run over hundreds of mines and I can't remember ever being hit with one through CloS.

While we're on the topic of Feint in this thread, it's also amazing for XT and Hodir (Frozen Blows).

****EDIT: CloS DOES work on shock blast. The few times I hit it in desperation while hoping to make range on it I died, but that could easily have been RNG or latency.

CoS DOES work on Shock Blast. At 90% it is sufficiently unreliable that you really ought to run out, but I can personally verify that it works.

For those that don't know, Blizzard has now put their Q&A post up for Rogues on the EU forums. A similar thread on the US forums should follow shortly.

If you have well thought out reasonable questions about the direction rogues are headed please post them there. Blizzard has asked for questions that are relatively short and do not require a lot of background (this is likely having to do with the requirement for translation to many languages). Questions should be more general, about the direction of rogues, and not about specific "how do I counter classes ability X?"

The thread asking for rogue questions is now up in the US forums. If you have questions please post them there. I did.

Please remember that this is a grand experiment for Blizzard and a great opportunity for us as a class. Please be respectful in your questions to both Blizzard and the other posters. I'd like Blizzard see this sort of format as a success they want to repeat in the future.
