Dubbs Rogue Sapping Lesson! (important)

I see way too many rogues just spamming sap before they get into the combat. If you sap three time before you ambush, what you are doing is just wasting time and causing diminishing return to make your next gouge or sap really short or immune. So if you are trying to ambush a sessile target, you shouldn't sap your target at all (sap their pet if they have one). If you do that, you will notice your next gouge to last way longer on your target. Longer gouge means more energy regenerated before start attacking your target. Or you can have time to restealth or even heal up with your bandage.

BUT

sap is really an awesome utility given to rogues. Although you can use sap to make your ambush opener easier when trying to attack a moving target or for CC purposes, you can do ALOT more with your sap.

This is just a bad example of that I am talking about. (I managed to get this footage few days ago but I had insane saps that literally disarmed 5 hunters)

This is really how you should sap your targets if you want your sap to be effective in a different way. (teamwork effectiveness)
Notice how i sap enemies again right before they get attacked by my ally? That makes the enemy stay sapped even after they got attacked for a second.
And you should sap the target before they get into the combat which is technically the only possible way to sap anyway lol but what i mean is before they even have chance to heal or attack etc. This disabled heals and dps for their team.



Now go to your field and utilize these tactics to pwn scrubs :)


BTW, I would like this to be in the
​http://www.twinkinfo.com/f2p-twinking/33386-faq-f2p-info-guides-index.html

If you can ambush without sapping then thats the best way. Sapping kinda gives the opponent the time to prepair.
 
Finally, a rogue posting a thread on how to use sap RIGHT!, respect man, I personally rarely use sap to line up a perfect ambush, and also the fact that sapping an opponent prepares them for your burst damage whereas just ambushing them throws them of guard and you get some extra hits in before they react accordingly, congratz man.

I only ever sap when im either lagging or sapping mounted toons because I HAVE to

Like your use of sap here and educating the f2p rogues out there, Ive seen your other posts and I like your videos too so respect :)

peace
 
How is this not common sense? Great tips and all, but if people aren't already doing this, just let them keep being bad.

Dubbs make a rogue guide and then add this too it, unless you want to wait until mop of course. This info was good nonetheless but i think you can maybe add some more things to it before it goes tot he index like gear choices or talent options or basic general rogue tips, etc. Your probably not going to make a guide but at least add more to the meal before it goes to the dinner table so to speak.
 
Gotta agree with whoever said the thing about common sense..
If people are smart enough to go onto twinkinfo or any other forum like this.. They should be able to use sap correctly..

Good guide though, as it might help some people..
I just dont understand how some people dont know this already.
 
well it isnt common sense when I never see rogues doing the "sap again before they get attacked."

and that is what guid is for isnt it? correcting common senses.
