Blood point aggro

[Rogean]

As a rogue you should be constantly evading whenever hide is up... not only when you get aggro.

Maybe without procing weapons, Think of it like taunt, or what it used to be lol.

Ok so a rog would be wrong to use a bp and a bbobde, but with high aggro proc weapons i wouldnt be evading constantly, unless after a proc.

Then again, If you were evading from the start you shouldnt have problems.

But i would wait a few moments into the fight to start evading, incase you get a off the bat proc.

Currently using a Crystalline spear / Bloodpoint combo and am not having many issues with agro at all. As with any proc weapon, you really need to aware of proc's very early in the fight. If you fail evade, its nothing counterattack shouldn't be able to take care of.

This. At 56 my opening attack has a potential of 820BS + 148 primary + 100ish offhand + 85 proc (assuming single proc). for a potential 1,100 + bonus proc aggro. This combined with an evade fail happens rarely enough that it's usually covered by rip or nimble if it happens in the first 2 rounds of attack before the MT has procced a stun or something.

At 60 w/ ragebringer damage backstabs and a VP offhand, this will get a bit more dangerous aggro wise, but for now it's manageable.

Yea, I used a burning rapier for a while and generally treated procs with it the same way. I saved evade early on in case of a single/double proc, if those didnt happen I'd just start evading for most of the fight. Think I might test the waters and look for one, I duo with a bard and necro friend occasionally so I think the added hp from siphon could help out. Shouldn't have to worry about aggro with those two classes at least.

If you're standing at max melee range and have any kind of a decent tank, you shouldn't be pulling aggro. You should be evading often, if not every time hide pops, then pretty close.
