Hide Skill, Evade, and You

A while ago I was talking with Ponden and the thought of whether Hide Skill affects Evade Success rate. He didn't know, and I haven't really heard from anyone else about it.

I have only seen a handful of items with Hide Mod on them, and was wondering if they indeed did affect the success rate of Evade for Rogues. Not that evade fails an extreme amount, but I am sure that +25 to hide will be very, very nice if it does affect evade.
 
we(us rogues) talked about this very same issue and basically came to the conclusion that even if hide did improve successes of evades we would likely never see any significant +hide mods on useful gear because it is intended for us to have a high failure rate. Which kind of sucks considering warriors are not too hot on aggro now days.

Oh what i would give to have the ability to drop aggro like a monk.
 
It has been a long time since I was leveling up a rogue.
After having a talk with a lowbie rogue, I do not think hide skill level changes how often evade works.

I was just thinking about the possibilities of what the Upgraded Thaz bracer for Rogues could be, and a hide mod came to mind, but it is probably a little too much to ask for. I can think of one high end item with a hide mod, and it's +2.

Can dream of a day when Evade never fails. I don't usually get a high fail rate, but it seems like I get strings of fails if I get fails. Like two or three fails in a row.

Hahaha yeah... It's fun tanking on Gale when Ponden is in the group and having him fail his evade 5 or 6 times in a row.

Of course, to say that I'm tanking on Gale in that situation is kind of stretching the truth. NGL, Ponden is a pretty fair tank!

Edit: another common problem is sneak failing. I seem to recall someone mentioning that it's related to a bug following combat, but I don't know the details. It seems to happen more than 50% of the time on the first try, and I don't think I've ever had it happen on the second consecutive sneak attempt.

Anyone able to comment?
 
Sneak issue is already an approved bug on the buglist.

Ill lay it out for you tho. If you get hit in combat with sneak on. Sneak turns off clientside only.

After the battle you put sneak back on -- but nothing happens.
Button refreshes ---
You click it back on, and it works.
 
(truth)You can preload sneak while in combat, just use it once while attack is off, such as when you're evading. Use it a second time while evading to actually sneak.

(speculation)In my experience botting Mahiro + Loccy, and a few occasions botting Thaf + Loccy, evade seemed to be related to how much agro the character at the top of the agro list maintains. If that character at the top of the list slacks on taunts, or isn't landing an appreciable number of hits compared to the rogue, evade fails, a lot.
