Hi!

My PE was so happy when he got his first stealth tool today
so he went to pick an a WB...
After shoting the WB for a while it was time to heal, so i fired a heal and then stealthed. The WB fired a rocket at me while in stealth and i got hurt, oh well i thought, its area damage.

Then...the WB started shooting his beams on me and i died...wtf:confused: Thats not area damage right?

Guess it was lagg or something then...or doesnt stealth work on mobs (i was convinced it did)?

once the mobs has seen you even if you stealth he can still track you and attack you

No, no it doesn't suck. Use stealth to get around/close to mobs before they track you. If you could use stealth to eliminate the mob's tracking it would greatly imbalance spies and PEs PvM-wise, and could even lead to mob-training (IE attacking a mob, leading it to a group of players, then stealthing away).

yes i noticed that when i got my stealth tool on my pe. i found that as long as the mob aint seen u already then he wont see u when stealthed. its onl if hes already seen u. and yes it sucs. i might be able to understand certain mobs being able to see u hen stealthed. such as a warbot might have some form of heat vision or what ever but its silly they can all see u

Well i think its fair that the mobs can track me and area damage me, but direct hits?

yes this is probably the reason why they can see you. just makes the game seem a tad unfair but ya righ with what u said.

anway i think stealth was origionaly intended as a pvp thing really

Yeah it does suck, because it gives PPUs the ability to freeze you and cast an SC, then, whether or not you stealth, the SC can still kill you, making PPUs yet again a pro in a certain field of AGGRESSIVE tactics :(

if you are in LOS you are still being attacked. if you hide you can stealth and run up to the mob ^.^

there are also some mobs (grims, for example) who can sense you when stealthed no matter if they've seen you or not.
