Who knows if it's a bug or not, but vanish failed 4 times when I tried to use it after getting hit with a mid spell from the Cloak of Heros.


What is the saddest part of it all, is a FG of mids desperate for RPs both hit me with this spell.


I got a message that said, "ou cannot form the words to cast. Spell fails."


Getting tired of this game again, due to the horrible game mechanics and ganking. Only took 3 months this time to be totally turned off by it.

But you keep coming back to this unplayable game. Do yourself a favour, wipe it from your comp and then get hypnotized to erase any knowledge of the game from your mind.

Vanish still bugged on guards. Please fix vanish Mythic. Just extending the timer did nothing, if you get hit with something in the air when you hit it and it also does nothing if guards hit you and you remain within about 1800 range.


Please fix this mess.


Why is vanish a spell when it is touted as an ability? ML10 cloak prevents you from using vanish. Please fix this.


Also, vanish needs a timer to clear effects on use and also the moment that the timer is about to expire.


Please fix this logical botch that has been bugged since you created it. Why is this so difficult?

Also, this couldn't have been what you had in mind mythic when you envisioned a way for an assassin to escape, knowing the skills you gave them force them to solo as they bring nothing worth while to a group.


The class has to be able to survive an attack on the enemy because most of the time there will be other enemies around, but vanish is such a failure, that it does not do that.


The following is why vanish is a failure:


1) Guards still come after you once the vanish timer wears off even if you didn't attack them. The reason is armor reactives and also that guards will sometimes not lose the direction of facing you after you vanish and they remain in a war stance pivoting in your direction until your vanish timer wears off, no matetr how far you are from them (but usually around 1200-1500) away.


2) Most of the time you are trying to escape for a stealth zerg of 5 to 50 stealthers, and they can find you easily and you can't hit them for 15-30 seconds.


3) Too many visis have SL items and can find you after you use vanish.


4) ML 10 cloaks will not allow you to vanish. THE SPELL WILL FAIL. Vanish is not and should not be a damn spell !!!


Fix this mess please !!!

If I did play, I would just stick to Molvik. Far less complicated and far less cheese. Faster action, easy to template, don't even need a buff bot to be honest. And you don't have to deal with stupid things like cloaks silencing you're realm ability.

You annoy me to no end. Seriously, and it's not even like you're trolling, it's that you're just plain awful.

Vanish is an escape tool, if you know how to change and head into different directions; then you're fine. Like EVERY escape tool in this game, it's not a 100% thing.

And purge doesn't even work when silenced; so tough break. IT's also SO FUNNY that tanks are silencing you because they know you're going to try and chicken shit away with Vanish. Why not Run Through / Garrote and be done with Vanish? MY SB got away much more times just doing that then using Vanish (in fact I never even had vanish until I wanted to cheese dick and 2 shot a caster from an FG or Zerg).

My advice stands: DELETE, Y. E. S.

Molvik just isn't my thing. The way I see it, Mythic will eventually change something there that will destroy what was good about it anyway.


Vanish has always been a logical botch, just from the standpoint of it not clearing effects both on use and just before it wears off to compensate for server lag that has spells and arrows in the air with effects that will knock you out of stealth once vanish wears off.


It also has had various results with guards and pets after each patch.


It really is a mess but it needs to be fixed, now more than ever because people are zerging more than ever before.
