Small useless rogue bug

[Gountilicious]

Hello there ownedcore Friends,

Just saw that if you use Subterfuge Talent you can do Survey For archeology without breaking Stealth ! xD

[gkelter]

Subterfuge clearly states what it does... It allows you to cast an ability without stealth breaking for 3 seconds. If stealth breaks 3 seconds later, this is definitely intended. Are you saying that stealth never breaks, or does it break 3 seconds after surveying? That makes a big difference on whether this should be in the guide forum or the exploit forum.

[Gountilicious]

it doesnt break stealth at all xD

[gkelter]

Not bad! I wonder if this applies to all unhostile abilities... I haven't played my rogue in a long time but I will test this and see what else works. If the survey thing is true I'll throw you +rep Gonna go test now.

[Gountilicious]

heh ty mate Cheers !

I tested it and it's absolutely confirmed. You can survey in peace all you want without stealth breaking at all! I can imagine this would be really awesome for a lowbie rogue that's trying to dig without getting ganked. I know I see lots of lowbies around the digsites and they get ganked constantly!

I tested this out with the guild perk "Mobile Banking" that places a guild bank down... It broke stealth 3 seconds after the cast finished so I think it's safe to say that the archaeology surveying without breaking stealth is unintended by blizzard. +4 rep Thanks for contributing!

Seems a wicked glitch. +4 rep for sharing.

Another minor bug, when you're in stealth, you can mount up without being interrupted (that is, if you arent in combat etc), because you're still in stealth. If you cancel the cast, you're still stealthed, and it wont break :-) .

[gkelter]

Yea, I was just about to add that you can cast your mount with Subterfuge talented and you won't be broken from stealth until after the cast completes and you're already taking off which could be pretty nice in hostile areas!

Edit: Just tried this so if anyone else was thinking this... Subterfuge doesn't help out with hearthing at all. Doesn't even give you a 3 second window. As soon as you begin casting your Hearthstone you get unstealthed. Sorry haha!

[Gountilicious]

If hearthstone doesnt work with subterfuge Ultrasafe transporter:Gadgetzan and Ultrasafe transporter: Toshley's station works Fine ! haha xD

[gkelter]

Confirmed that as well! Just used Dimensional Ripper: Everlook (the Goblin Engineering version of the Ultrasafe Transporters) and when I got to the portal in Everlook I was still stealthed. Nice!

@Gountilicious: I'd suggest editing your original post with the fact that the engineering transporters can be used while stealthed to escape combat, etc, and feel free to quote my confirmation posts as proof up there so that new viewers can see everything nice and concisely as soon as they open the thread. Thanks again!

This is a cool bug! +rep! I wonder if this works with any other abilities.

you can drop bombs on gates in one of the BGs (SOTA?) and it doesnt break stealth! it seems that eventually it does get you out of stealth but not after 3 seconds. need more testing

[gkelter]

I am genuinely surprised that the OC community didn't tear Subterfuge apart after reading its description! It seemed like such an obvious target to test for exploits and this is the first time I remember hearing people discussing it.

Actually a really good find, could have helped me out a few minutes ago getting ganked in Uldum. Thanks.
