10-19 Rogue Academy: Dealing with Mage AoE

Option 1 is what I said was the proper one. If you spam sap, then you are losing your initial 7 second sap because you DR’d your first sap. So even if they wouldn’t have trinketted, your sap wouldn’t last the potential 7 plus 4 plus 1 seconds or however long each DR lasts, let’s say approximately 12 seconds with 3 full resaps. If you sap, for 7 second, resap thinking they will trinket the first one, then your first 7 second sap is reduced to 4 seconds or however long the second DR is, which means your cc is noticeably shorter, which is your target as a rogue. Ccing targets effectively while also peeling, kicking at appropriate timings, depending on fake casts and shit, and peeling/slowing with cs, sap and pistol shot. Since sap is a huge toolkit for rogues, you don’t want to DR your sap just because they might trinket, cuz if they don’t you just lose so much time with your full sap (from 7 sec to 4) just because you tried to read instead of react. And inb4 ppl say your computer isn’t good enough to react. I have like 8 FPS each BG, but can react to enemy trinkets so idk. Just don’t DR your sap for no reason imo

I don't think you're getting what he's saying. You can't, as in literally can't, sap someone literally the second after you landed a sap. You can keep spamming it, and the sap won't apply unless it has positive duration to add. So like he said, it won't re-apply sap until 3.99 seconds is left of the previous sap. So in essence, you can anticipate a trinket by spamming sap. If he doesn't trinket within the first few seconds, you can just move on to do whatever you were initially thinking of doing. This way you avoid getting caught by a trinket + aoe type of play.

Ah ok didn’t know that. Never mind.
