is it noobish or smart to trinket a sap, which will lead to the whole ally team or the horde team to go after you at the begining of a wsg match?
I trinket saps on my 24 all the time because I can see level 20 stealthed rogues
.I used to trinket saps on my 20 rogue because sometimes you can see other 20 rogues and knock them out of stealth.
Trinketing saps is situational, and if you trinket a sap and knock the rogue out of stealth, most of the morons immediately pop evasion and run away with their backs turned. Easy kills.
It's situational. Make sure you use Mocha's Sap macro on a 20 rogue and I guarantee that you can turn the tables on some of the rogues that you can see through stealth.

In theory. If you are the FC healer and FC is being nuked (and usually he is) you will have to cast spam regrowth thus won't have time to switch properly to feral. If the mage has enough brains he will sheep during casting, thus the need of trinketing. Now if you are a dps healer, there shouldn't be problems.

Sure, trinket a sap.
It's not like CC aside from Hammerofwin happens in this bracket.
I see a sheep once every 20 BGs, if that. And sometimes a Psyfiend may get a lucky fear off on you if you can't scroll over and 1-2 shot him. I think Locks don't learn fear to 25. Or that's the way the game plays...
But the question of the day is, why do you need to trinket sap? Most Rogues aren't aware of how DR works and sit there, literally, spamming sap on you. Just wait for the DR imo.

I think that joke is wasted on Americansc[_];599687 said:
Trinketting sap: Anyone who trinkets my sap is silly, cos it's going straight back on.. (High sap-trinketting rate in this bracket definitely)
On the receiving end, sometimes it seems worth it.... pop them out of stealth and then gg.... But personally I would rather save the 5m CD for HoJ or sheep.
A lot of the time, I get sapped... Still mounted, rogue opens, I can still run away on mount without rogue landing crip poison.... Trinketting in that instance would only dismount you.
So i'd save it, unless it's some game breaking sap moment in FR or whatever, like people are pointing out.

Yeah, true. That's why if you're a healer you should stand as far away from the flag carrier as possible while still maintaining line of sight. If they sap you they have to make up a lot of ground to open on the FC.
Another reason to trinket sap is if you're solo-guarding a base in AB. The rogue can cap the flag in the duration of the sap and even have time to restealth afterwards. Stand far away from the flag while still being in range to make an attack on the rogue while he's capping and you'll be fine.
The only reason I trinket a sap is if I'm trying to cap a base in AB when it looks open. If I get sapped, I'll trinket the first sap because usually it's just being used to stall me, and the next two saps will have a much shorter duration.

Not entirely true. You also have to pop LoH or DS. Take your pick.

Look at battleground targets addon. If they have 3 or more rogues you are getting set up for the ambush raping of your life.
I got a question about dimishing returns. Just when I think I'm sap immune (three in a row) I get a new one for 8 sec. Do DRs apply only to the one rogue's saps or to any saps? How long before DR dissapates and sap duration goes back to 8 sec?

Only 2 situations you trinket a sap:
- Your FC is going to drop
- You're low on HP (and would die from the Ambush) and you're certain you can kill the Rogue without dieing yourself.
Situations like when you're going to die anyway, gonna be resapped anyway, or you're gonna sit in another worse CC (like HoJ, Sheep, Fear,...), then don't even bother thinking about using your precious trinket.
