Ranger Archive

Reading many posts in both the ranger and scout forums it appears that the /maskscent and /conceal are working great for some and not working at all for others. I, unfortunatly, am one of the ones who's scent masking and conealment skills have become nearly useless. I've been using /maskscent mostly on Tatooine and Lok since the patch and have concluded that the XP notifications only serve one purpose now that I'm a master ranger and do not need scouting XP. It's a good warning that I need to run because I'm about to be aggroed on. Pretty much any red dot that I walk near will give me between 1-5 XP notifications before the mask scent is broken and I tend to get aggroed more often than not. I did apply /conceal to myself and a friend and we were also running from baddies not more than 30 seconds after applying it.

Let's see if maybe we can collect some data and determine why it's working for some, and not for others. I'm a Master Ranger/Bounty Hunter 0/2/3/1. I mainly hunt on Lok and Tatooine. I couldn't sneak past a blind/deaf man in a machinist shop. I am detected by high and low level mobs on a regular basis.
