BTW just so you know, there are some things in game that conceal doesnt work at all on, such as AT-STs and other high end targets.
I don't mean to be rude or anything, but why do people post junklike this. I solo'd several AT-ST using conceal shot, and I never got an agro from a wound before. Agro is gained after reaching a certain number of shots if not using conceal shot no matter what, and bleeds.cause it also. There is no mob in the game I know of that can see past conceal shot, unless they get close enough to you.
/Agree
ATSTs are certainly able to be killed with Concealshot. Even before I was Master, I killed three. That was, as well,before mind buffs,good mind foods, and using only Muon Gold. It took incredibly long, two doses of Muon in the first two cases, and three does in the third. This meant I had to shoot for 10 minutes, stop, crawl out of range and wait for the downer, take a new dose, move back into range, then rinse and repeat. They never aggroed on me in the over 20 minutes it took the first two times nor in the over 30 minutes it took the third time. And that was back when they had heavy armor.
Since I am now a Master, have Brandy and Canape, and they have greatly modified the HAM and armor on them, it takes far less time. In fact, I killed two last night, solo, using Concealshot while waiting for the NPCs in the Weapons Development Lab to respawn. They never aggroed.
In fact, the only times I have ever had them aggro while using Concealshot was one time when I allowed one to wander too close or a couple of times when people have decided to "help" me and go running in and start shooting, getting its attention in my direction.
With more aggressive mobs, you have to be more careful to avoid detection by other means, but Concealshot will not be the reason you are aggroed.
