Really! Wow! Could have fooled me since every mob I attacked today was from between 60 and 64 meters and EVERY time I got the BAF attack on me.

Not sure what was intended but I don't think it's workin'

I believe you are right Rossi. This has got to be an oversight by the devs. Conceal shot should be the exception to losing mask scent when in combat. According to definition, conceal shot, if successful, means that you have hit your target withoutthe targetknowing where the shot came from.

There is no logical reason why you cannot be masked while concealing shots and I think this should be fixed.

In the meantime, other tactics I've triedmay work. Since rangers now know when they are being stalked, you can /peace when this happens, then mask scent, wait a few seconds, then start back up with the conceal shots, until they "find" you again...rinse...repeat.

Anyone know the proper channel to make a request for this fix?

Mask scent versus conceal shot is a moot point. The description in game says:

/concealshot <target>: This ranged sneak attack, if successful, will damage your target without them knowing where the attack came from.

We know from experience that it really means:

/concealshot <target>: This ranged sneak attack, if successful, will damage your target without them knowing where the attack came from (while everything around them comes to beat you down whether you are /concealed or /maskscented or not). Enjoy!

If C.S. worked like it is advertised, this whole thread would be moot.

Anyone tried Conceal Shot Using Camo?

Just curious

camo (/conceal command from Ranger) does not drop until you take damage. I have not yet tested it as a combo, I may later today and tell you what happens (They say Humbas[Corellia] are BAF now?).

yeah, that's not what they're talking about, aggro creatures (red on the map) won't attack you unless you get within 40 meters, pack assist still works from as long a range as you care to try to shoot the thing, only thing that matters for pack assist is how far the creatures are from EACH OTHER.

and yes it is stupid, pack assist is my NUMBER ONE, WITHOUT A DOUBT complaint about riflemen. with my ch/pistoleer I could give a crap, but for my ranger/rifleman who's shtick is not getting seen, well it's a major bummer. sucks to be me, I picked a character concept which is totaly broken, or was never intended to work at all. how silly of me to think a sniper with an ability called "concealshot" could, you know, snipe.

Now that maskscent's gone, might as well just run into the mobs screaming "I'm meat! Bite me, hungry beasts!"

I could see making maskscent breakable in combat IF conceal shot actually concealed, but having every mob around target you as soon as you use it (except, of course, your initial hapless target) is silly.

We need conceal shot fixed.
