How to (kinda) fix Vanish Bug!

[danlol]

Ok, I didn't see this posted before so I'm posting this, please don't flame me if it's a repost. ><

To explain what the Vanish bug is, it's when you cast Vanish and immediately pop out of stealth, even without DoT debuffs on you. It's been around forever and doesn't appear to be a priority to be fixed anytime soon.

Here's how you get around it, and although not 100&#37; of the time, the chance for Vanish to bug out one me has dropped considerably, and it makes quite a noticeable difference.

#show Vanish
/stopattack
/cast vanish


Basically, Vanish bugs out for two reasons.
1.) When an attack lands on you after you vanish (due you server/client lag)
2.) When you land an attack on an enemy immediately after you vanish (due to the same lag)

This macro will theoretically prevent the Vanish bug from happening ~50% as often as it does for you now.

That attack thing mostly works for melee if i'm not mistaken, lately if I shoot a fireball on a rogue when he vanish the fireball fly, hit him but he doesn't take damage at all

lol thats how Vanish is supposed to work, it makes you immune to incoming attacks.

The vanish bug is totally different and NOT working as intended.

My ass, this was on the official rogue forums worded EXACTLY THE SAME!

WoW Forums -> Rogue Macro Guide: What I Currently Use

Look at the date on that thread. Then look at the wording after the macro.

First of all, thats the official forum which not everyone here trolls.

Second of all, someone else uses a macro that I also use, whats the big deal? I can't share this with other people just because someone else uses it? Get real.

You clearly stated that you had never seen it before.

And you could have given credit.

I don't troll the rogue forums, so I haven't seen anyone post this before.
Just because someone else had the same idea and made the same macro doesn't mean it's taken from them.

Making macros is not hard buddy, lol. Especially this one, it's like a two liner, an eight year old can figure out how to make this macro. It's the idea for the macro that I'm trying to share.
