Good Morning!
Rogue poisons are fantastic DPS, but have the downside of basically giving you permanent agro. This also means that you cannot use your rogue abilities very efficiently since the mob is always facing you. It also means that you cannot use the poisons against the most current raid targets, since rogues cannot tank worth anything, and will just die in 1 round. Would it be reasonable to reduce the agro on the poison proc to allow rogues to stay behind a target, but still benefit from using their poisons? As amazing as the poisons are, it's a little bit frustrating to have to choose between using poisons....and being a rogue. There may be balance reasons that would make you decide against this change, but I thought I'd bring it up anyway.
Thanks!

Rogues on live sort of had this same problem. If it works like it should on live, hide should drop your agro while in combat. If you haven't tried keeping that on CD give it a shot. It also helps for your next BS as well if coming out of hide.

Nah man, it's not like live. You can escape and you have aggro again in 3 seconds..with a good tank tanking. The poison has a 32000 percent proc modifier and doesn't have the -threat most poisons do.

So I was looking at ways to drop agro, and I see that Rogues have an "Escape" AA that basically acts the same way as a bard's fade ability. The difference is that Escape has a 35 minute cooldown, and fade has no cooldown (but an irrelevant mana cost). A possible solution would be to give Escape a 2-3 second cooldown so that it could be spammed the same way fade can be. That would be a possible mechanic to allow rogues to drop agro and stay behind the target.

I was thinking of other potential ways to help with rogue poison agro. The amnesia aug currently procs “mind crash” with a 7500 agro reduction. I see on the allaclone lists ranks of mind crash that go up to 26000. Maybe increasing the level of mind crash that this aug procs would allow rogues to use poison and not have to also tank.
