Hasn't that always been it's functionality?

Yes

Completely incorrect. You can have no target and still evade agro on everything. You see the success or fail message as per normal with or without targets. This has been used for years to see if the rogue still had agro on a kite/train in zones like PoG/Sky/Fear. This was changed in the last 6 months. Using evade to to clean up a pull was a thing i've done in the past- evade and the train leaves for the kiter to west, and you rip out the target signal - it absolutely worked on all targets on p99 that you had agro on.

Here are the specifics on Evade from the February 2001 adjustment.

There is no justification for what we are seeing now. This is a bug. Timeline sync's up with the Green and Blue patches being merge (there is no evade on Green) - there was very likely an unintended mix up that is effecting rogues on Blue. Someone really needs to look at this please.

Bump.

Before kunark green patch goes out it would be a great time to fix this. Literally dealing with this for a year and its the worst class bug imaginable for rogues.
