Should i upgrade Play Dead or Distract? From what i heard Distract doesn't work that good even if its maxed (the mobs just wont get off u)
However, i heard that when u cast Play Dead, u lose the boss or mob immediately like 100%.
From past experiences, plz tell me which skill is better

#2All i can say is that distract can work a lot:) but u need to be dex build and have a lot of regen:) but i work great!! Only thing: usless when u solo
Play dead, yes u lose the mob when u solo, and u dont lose aggro when u r in a boss fight: worthless unless u have sigils so u can regen:)

#4ok, seriously imo, play dead is the most useless skill rogues have
distract is good if you have a half ass tank, otherwise its un needed

#6you get the boss back as soon as you get up
its only useful if you have 100+ health sigils
its also instant death on the lava area because you lose all armour when playing dead and lava dmg will be 200+ per tic

#7Given the choices i would go with distract for sure. I wouldn't put more than 10-15 points in it though. If i need to cast it continuously just to stay alive then i need a better tank.

#10Somewhere in the beta forums, there's a post started by me saying Play Dead is garbage. But since I wasn't a rogue, no one listened, and people loved the animation very muchok, seriously imo, play dead is the most useless skill rogues have

It is also a redundant skill since Rogues already had Distract.
I lobbied for Play Dead to be changed, I just didn't think it was an appropriate skill for the class. Assassins and Thieves in traditional fantasy don't fake dying, they disappear like ninjas when they need to escape.
I actually thought Smoke Bomb was an evasion skill, or an area effect that will help parties avoid aggro/damage.
