I know Shadowstep increases the damage of your next attack, but it is, inho, used better as a defensive CD for moving really fast when out of stealth.
And no, Gouge only works on enemies facing you.

First half of the text:
LOL and you are doing it wrong.
Second half of the text:
No, diminishing return on gouge.

For example: Against warriors (one of the rogues hardest enemies), I would win most of the duels with nearly perfect life.
Orly?
I'd like to introduce you to mutilate, ive heard that its very good against plate.
1) Premed
2) ShadowStep
3) Ambush
4) Rupture (4-5 points)
5) Vanish (the bonus ms from SS should let you be able to run away before any of his AoE unstealths you), hide until Rupture is finished ticking
6) Repeat, with the occasional sap to stop him from running, eating, etc.
Preparation could always be used to make it go faster and Blind for anytime he trinkets.
And at what point does your target die, because of the occasional ambush(, boredom) and rupture?
How am I doing it wrong? I win 90% of my 1v1 fights against warriors.
How?
Are you telling me that 3 ambushes (heavily mitigated by armor) and rupture ticks are enough to kill a warrior...?
What can they do? Almost nothing. After rup, I just wait in stealth. They try mounting? Sap. Eating? I ambush again and repeat combo. Rup stops them from bandaging. They just keep bleeding. Most of the time they run around jumping in circles while shouting or thunder clapping. I just wait until all their rage goes away, then I repeat again. It doesn't matter if they are in def stance with a shield because bleeds ignore them.
Sigh.
There may be diminishing returns on gouge, but if you mix it up with a 5 pt kidney in between, the DR timer will wear off by the time you repeat the combo.
Possible? Yes.
Effective? No.

The target dies after I repeat it 4-5 times while he just runs around bleeding and can't do anything about it.
Cool.
How does that relate that we can only vanish max 3 times?
Ps
Distract breaks eating aswell.

I don't think this is a new way to PvP, I think it's just another thread trying to make sub seem waaaay too good then what it really is.
Plus you haven't even factored in if said Warrior is in Resil gear which will make your ambushes seem like a giant total waste of energy on top of the migitation they're plate armor gives.
Any real good warrior worth his skill will not let you bleed him to death, in fact it'll be the other way around when he shouts you out of stealth, does that incombat charge and puts rend and all those nasty bleed effects they can do, and he'll watch you die. Oh and don't even try to Cloak and Vanish cause it won't work. Just wanted to let you know ahead of time.

The warriors you play against can't possibly have anything else than this in their sockets.
