Mechanics

You immediately attempt to hide without roundtime (RT). This hasty attempt comes with a penalty to the hide check of 10*(3 - Ranks) + 15*(Armor Group - 1). At higher ranks, Vanish may be attempted in RT:

  • Rank 2: Can Vanish while in 5 seconds or less of RT.
  • Rank 3: Can Vanish while in any amount of RT.

Additional Information

Stamina costs

If currently in roundtime (RT), an additional penalty of 1 stamina point per second of RT remaining is applied (per 2 seconds of RT if Shadow Mastery is active). The stamina cost for this skill is capped at 75.

Each attempt from the open will cost stamina, but once the rogue is in hiding accidentally attempting the maneuver again will not result in a stamina reduction.

There is no cooldown period because the stamina costs are prohibitory enough to keep players from using this ability consistently.
