Hi fellow rogues.
Pretty much since BGs came out my saps are pure trash. Today the longest one was 7 seconds. Did Blizz change it or I just have horrible luck? =P

shrug the ones for the the warrior, hunter, and shaman say Dispels all immobilizing effects and stuns. does sap count as an immobilizing effect?
Sap is an incapacitating effect, not. Stun or immobilizing effect. Similar to blind.
No pvp trinkets remove sap. But there are things that can remove it. Blessing of Protection to name one. In AV and WSG you see a lot more group pvp so the odds of someone removing your sap from a friendly target is likely higher.
I cant blink when sapped. most stuns I can but not sap

My bad I thought you could blink it. I’ll edit my post. Ty
would skull of impending doom work ? I have never tired it but I have it. it does damage to you and gives you a sprint…I know it works to get out of sheep

I’ve been sapped for 10+ secs but every one of my saps seems to break early. Not sure what the problem is, im using the highest lvl of sap.
I’m not sure of skull of impending doom puts you into combat. You can only sap someone out of combat. But yes, if you have it active and you’re sapped, it would break the sap.
Unfortunately not.
I have had sap last 3 sec, and I have have had it last for 20+ seconds, it’s very random.
My freezing trap is a lot more reliable.
I have been tracking a number of other bugs also, RNG stun resist (orc racial) on my orc rogue is tracking as roughly 75% effective VS cheap shot, and works properly VS hammer of Justice.
Other stuns like Concussion blow, Bash, Kidney shot, etc (standard stun DR) are resisting at 44% on average.
Keep in mind this is an average, so I get strings of resists and strings of my racial just not working.
Another bug I have seen with rogues is gouge / blind breaking earlier than expected. No DR on the target, just breaks early.
BUT my personal favorite is vanish failing because auto attack from 43256437652354 Yards away hits me.
I have the same problem on my hunter, trap a target and then get auto-attacked on the FD + LOL-NO-TRAP-FOR YOU that puts me back into combat… EL OH EL…
Also been auto attacked at 50 / 60 yards after a trap broke…
been charged at no joke 40 yards, I know I was at 40-41 yards because I was at max possible auto shoot range and stutter stepping… (yay blizz this is great!)
And the list of just dumb crap goes on.

I think sap is one of those cc’s that just has a tendency to break early randomly. It can last the full duration, but most of the time it will end before then.
If you were vs a warrior though, berserker rage breaks it instantly and makes them immune to gouge as well. Not blind though.
yea my saps are breaking very quick in pvp situations. like 7-10 sec like OP says.
Well yeah, thanks for the replies. It seems my luck just sucks.
Sapped the following:
Human mage. 6 secs
Human priest. 7 secs
Dwarf Hunter. 4 secs
Human Pally. 10 secs
Druid. 8 secs
big reee 
Blind is a disorientation, not an incapacitate. Gouge is the other rogue skill that incapacitates the target.
Sap and Gouge are ridiculously broken. Also for every sap of 7 second duration I’ve had a sheep of 6 second duration. (And I run hit chance talent and resist piece talents for arcane).
I’m wondering why my highest sap has been 15 seconds but when i get sapped its always 45 seconds. Anyone notice the same?
