New SE interview

[Elcura]

do I really have to explain hide mecanics ?

yeah you do....

.At level 45, Thieves learn a job ability, Hide.
This JA is on a 5 min recast.
Previously, before a patch, which date I dont have offhand, all hide did was allow the user to render themself invisible. I believe it also allowed the shedding of all hate towards mobs who only track by sight. After the afforementionned patch was implemented, Hide allowed the user to use Sneak Attack from any direction, since Sneak Attack only works from the mob's ass.

You can Hide mid fight from certain mobs:
Mobs that track by sight, and not sound.
Mobs that track by sight and sound, while under the effect of deodorize.
Mobs that track by sight and sound, while in water (which deodorizes you).
Skeletons while in white HP.

Mobs that are True Sight/Sound are impossible to Hide from. No matter what you do, how far you run, you can not Hide from them.






come suck my dick now you piece of trash.

hahahaha

btw I thought you could only hide SA mobs that were sight based?

If you pre-charge SA and Hide, you can still SA the target in the face. Also, I havent tested this, but I heard if you aggro pull a sound based mob in a party, you can hide from it.


What I do at Wyrms, the very occasional time I get to go thf, is I build TP away from the wyrm (easier at tiamat since I can solo the EP flies, even /drk), then I chill close enough to see it, but not close enough to get put on hate list. When I get invited in, I'll SA TA Souleater LastResort Flee Hide and SATA Shark the target. Then I run away and relog.
