'''Vanish''' allows a [[rogue]] to disappear from sight, entering an improved stealth mode for 3 seconds even while in combat. During that time damage and harmful effects will not break stealth, but they will still afflict the rogue. Once the Vanish buff has worn off, the rogue will still be in standard [[Stealth]]. Upon being cast, Vanish also breaks any movement impairing effects. Vanish can be learned at level 24 for {{cost||48|45}}.

==Notes==

*Allows the rogue to re-[[Stealth]] while in combat.
  +
*All mobs aggroing the rogue will exit combat and reset, or turn to other players if the rogue is in a party.
  +
*While the Vanish buff is active, the rogue's stealth is several levels higher than it is normally, allowing them to remain undetected, even versus enemies of higher level.
  +
*Breaks free of [[root]] effects like [[Frost Nova]] and [[Entangling Roots]].
  +
*Removes effects that allow other players to see the rogue's location, such as [[Hunter's Mark]] and [[Mind Vision]].
  +
*Vanish does not remove [[DoT]]'s on you.
  +
*Vanish does not work on city [[guards]].
  +
*Vanish is not affected by the [[global cooldown]].
  +
  +
==Improvements==
  +
*[[Preparation]] immediately finishes the cooldown of Vanish.
  +
*[[Elusiveness (rogue talent)]] reduces the cooldown of Vanish by 30/60 seconds.

*[[Glyph of Vanish]] increases the duration of the Vanish effect by 2 seconds.
  +
  +
==Tips and tactics==
  +
*Vanish and [[Sprint]] away when you are outmatched or need to recover, or when you pull a mob you don't want to attack right now.
  +
*In groups, use Vanish if you are approaching the [[tank (role)|tank]] in [[threat]], or have already drawn [[aggro]]. Keep in mind that if you Vanish while having aggro the mob will attack another party member; try to make sure that person isn't a [[healer (role)|healer]].
  +
*Ostensibly a defensive ability, Vanish also enables you to use your opening attacks ([[Ambush]], [[Garrote]], [[Cheap Shot]]) multiple times during a fight, and [[Overkill]] turns Vanish into a DPS cooldown for Assassination rogues.
  +
*When stealthing past high level mobs or moving in for a [[Sap]], utilize Vanish's improved stealth to ensure the enemy doesn't see you.
  +
*Vanish at the last moment to save yourself during a [[wipe]] ([[engineer]]s with a [[Gnomish Army Knife]] or similar tool can turn this into a form of [[wipe recovery]]).
  +
*If you are being chased by a [[hunter]] and you have not yet been hit with [[Serpent Sting]], Vanish will remove [[Hunter's Mark]] and allow you to get away.
  +
*Vanish is not designed to remove or mitigate the damage from [[damage over time]] spells. Use [[Cloak of Shadows]] instead.

Vanish TCG

In World of Warcraft: Trading Card Game.

Now you see him…[1]

Vanish allows a rogue to disappear from sight, entering an improved stealth mode for 3 seconds even while in combat. During that time damage and harmful effects will not break stealth, but they will still afflict the rogue. Once the Vanish buff has worn off, the rogue will still be in standard Ability stealth [Stealth]. Upon being cast, Vanish also breaks any movement impairing effects. Vanish can be learned at level 24 for 48s 45c.

Notes

  • Allows the rogue to re-Ability stealth [Stealth] while in combat.
  • All mobs aggroing the rogue will exit combat and reset, or turn to other players if the rogue is in a party.
  • While the Vanish buff is active, the rogue's stealth is several levels higher than it is normally, allowing them to remain undetected, even versus enemies of higher level.
  • Breaks free of root effects like Spell frost frostnova [Frost Nova] and Spell nature stranglevines [Entangling Roots].
  • Removes effects that allow other players to see the rogue's location, such as Ability hunter markedfordeath [Hunter's Mark] and Spell holy mindvision [Mind Vision].
  • Vanish does not remove DoT's on you.
  • Vanish does not work on city guards.
  • Vanish is not affected by the global cooldown.

Improvements

Tips and tactics

  • Vanish and Ability rogue sprint [Sprint] away when you are outmatched or need to recover, or when you pull a mob you don't want to attack right now.
  • In groups, use Vanish if you are approaching the tank in threat, or have already drawn aggro. Keep in mind that if you Vanish while having aggro the mob will attack another party member; try to make sure that person isn't a healer.
  • Ostensibly a defensive ability, Vanish also enables you to use your opening attacks (Ability rogue ambush [Ambush], Ability rogue garrote [Garrote], Ability cheapshot [Cheap Shot]) multiple times during a fight, and Ability hunter rapidkilling [Overkill] turns Vanish into a DPS cooldown for Assassination rogues.
  • When stealthing past high level mobs or moving in for a Ability sap [Sap], utilize Vanish's improved stealth to ensure the enemy doesn't see you.
  • Vanish at the last moment to save yourself during a wipe (engineers with a Inv misc enggizmos swissarmy [Gnomish Army Knife] or similar tool can turn this into a form of wipe recovery).
  • If you are being chased by a hunter and you have not yet been hit with Spell hunter exoticmunitions poisoned [Serpent Sting], Vanish will remove Ability hunter markedfordeath [Hunter's Mark] and allow you to get away.
  • Vanish is not designed to remove or mitigate the damage from damage over time spells. Use Spell shadow nethercloak [Cloak of Shadows] instead.
