Since conceal really does little more than mask scent, I wonder if the Devs would consider giving us a status effect when concealed that lasts for a while after conceal drops that gives gives us a ranged defense bonus based on our camo skill, since being detected doesn't tecnically remove the camo & you'd still be harder to aim at. I think that would be an appropriate bonus vs ranged opponents. Melee opponents however should be in your face anyway and thusthe camowould be useless. I think it would make conceal a useful skill in pvp while not overpowering our ability to sneak around.I'd like to hear some opinions.

Lots of conceal pvp Ideas get tossed around.

"I wonder if the Devs would consider giving us a status effect when concealed that lasts for a while after conceal drops that gives gives us a ranged defense bonus based on our camo skill, since being detected doesn't tecnically remove the camo & you'd still be harder to aim at. "

I don't think they would ever make anyone harder to aim at. Now, maybe ano auto response attack for the 1st shot ya, any thing more would allready unbalance us (in my eyes)

"I think that would be an appropriate bonus vs ranged opponents."

With future changes to Rifleman on test center that might tip the scales.

From the Rifleman Forum

"The whole rifleman tree gives:
+40 melee defense
+80 block
+55 ranged defense
Accuracy and aiming is improved as well."

Not to mention it totaly skrews the Melee Ranger.

"Melee opponents however should be in your face anyway and thusthe camowould be useless. I think it would make conceal a useful skill in pvp while not overpowering our ability to sneak around.I'd like to hear some opinions"

Post and Contriubute your thoughts. Thats the best we can do.
