| − | The '''Valley of Trials''' in southern [[Durotar]] is where all young [[troll]] and [[orc]] adventurers begin their journey. Within the valley, they are safe from external threats while taking on challenges that enable them to get used to their new status as recruits of the [[Horde]]. By the time they leave the valley they are more than ready to face the trials that await beyond the tall walls. |

| − | Roughly in the center of the valley, carved out of the cliff, is a small cave equipped with the basic comforts of living, known as [[the Den]]. This is where recruiters and trainers live and work, and where the new recruits report back as they complete tasks in the area. Recently, a taint has crept into the northern part of the valley. What was once a small network of natural [[Burning Blade Coven|caves]] in the cliffs has recently been inhabited by foul [[demons]]. Even though the demons there are relatively weak and harmless, they have begun to spill out into the valley proper. Furthermore, the presence of the demons suggests that rumors about the [[Shadow Council]] getting a foothold in the region may have some truth. |

Tips and tactics
- Ideally, feint should be used when you are approaching the tank's threat on a mob. Feint allows rogues to continue dpsing when classes without a similar ability would have to stop and wait for a tank to get more threat. If you have an addon that keeps track of how much threat you and the tank have, you can tell when your threat level is getting dangerously near to the tank's threat. If you don't have such an addon, you should at least keep track if you overaggro a mob, and use feint if you do.
- An alternative to using feint in raids during longer boss fights is to wait until the boss is down to ~60/70% health, and then vanish to completely dump your current threat. The threat dump from
[Vanish] gives the tank enough of a lead on threat so that you can continue dealing damage without using energy to feint. - At lower levels, Feint may be dismissed as a useless ability due to the negligible amount of threat removed. At higher ranks, the threat reduction becomes more significant. Nevertheless, the threat reduction of Feint does not scale with the damage output of the rogues. As a result, most raid level rogues find it a very inefficient threat reduction ability and prefer not to use it unless necessary.
- Try to keep track of how much threat each party member is drawing from a mob when using Feint. The threat you are removing from yourself may be the only thing keeping a mob from attacking the party healer.
Patch changes
Patch 3.0.8 (2009-01-20): Rank 8 now reduces the damage taken from area of effect attacks by 50% for 6 seconds in addition to its existing effects.
