Thread: do you think conseal shot is too good.
well i did like the story. i do exp and money so i dont know what your talking about
so now i think i will make a macro called consealmyheadshot. it gos like this /consealshot; do that 100 more times. push it! wait target something and go prone first. dont put armor on go naked.
then see how far you can put your head between your legs because there is no need to look up at the computer and you might as well keep your self busy. when
your done stretching look up its dead. I got good at the stretch. (get your docs permission to do this stretch i dont want to be sued)
bottomline-this is boring and too easy to do guess i wont use it anymore. just woundering why put it in if it makes the game to too easy- then no need to buy armor-no need to group-i think ill train my cat to play see if i can get him to hit 1 key. then he can play for my while im at work!
maybe they will change it.10% chance to miss would be better then 1%
I had a nice long rant written out to respond to tne Nightsister Elders post, but it doesn't even deserve it.
A comment like that doesn't help anything and is just the type of ignorant tripe that gets the nerf cryers going.
Thanks.
I don't think concealshot is too good, and here's why.
In terms of spam kills, this seems to be one we rely on, myself included. When I working towards master and doing piket lairs, 2 misses w/ conceal and I was aggroed. Once you get the +100 conceal bonus, you rarely miss (and I have missed even as master). So yes, the boring factor could be there.
That being said, in the grand scheme of spammed attacks like eye and torsoshot, KD/dizzy, and mindshots or poisons, this is our equivalent. The ability to pick off targets without detection. Isn't that what snipers do? Oh wait, WE can do that too! Yes a little sarcastic there... but as a rifleman, that we can take things out w/o detection is one of the reasons I abandoned ranger and doctor, to concentrate on combat and stealth.
I agree with the previous stormtrooper story, and that was well done. I have performed similar actions to such groups out in the wild, and admittedly that's "slightly" out of the realm of realism. But I'll worry about the realism end of things when my speederbike starts taking damage for crashing into rocks, buildings, and other concrete objects 
What to do then about conceal? As a rifleman, use it less. I try to when I hunt, depending on the creature, I may fire off 2-3 conceals, throw a strafeshot2 (my NEW favorite attack), and maybe a few more conceals until it's maybe 1/3rd down, then i attack normally. When grouped, I use head3, strafe2, and even flush2 (which ROCKS for emptying lairs). Of all the attacks, I hardly use Flurry, b/c the TKers and others who work the KD/Dizzy combo do more than my Flurryshot2.
Want to increase detection on it? I don't necessarily... it's not like conceal is an effective PvP tactic :-P Leave things as is when it comes to conceal, I think.

I don't think increasing detection is what we are trying to say.. just that Sentient beings ( i.e NPC's not Creatures ) would and should notice one of their buddies falling over dead and act on it in some way. They wouldn't notice you straight away, it'd be great if they'd fan out and start searching the surrounding area though. It'd mean you would have to crawl to another position and start picking them off.. Sounds like fun to me

Actually it's slow and boring... and has a low dmg multiplier... I suggest getting a tank and blasting them with flushing shot 2 when you get it.
Agreed, Conceal Shot should stay as it is. It maybe low risk, but the price is almost too high.
The way I look at it, Time is Money. I can make much more money in short time with a decent tank and laying waste to mobs by AOE attacks.
I also agree that since the last patch, I've found Flushing Shot 2 to consistantly have a higher Damage Output than Strafe Shot 2, I usually mix it up with Flushing Shot 2, Flurry Shot 2, and Strafe Shot 2, just to cover all the posture changes.
all i hear is cry babies

Heh! I'm not saying G2NOC1DE is lying but don't take that comment as "It's as easy as killing a dwarf nuna". It's a hell of a lot of work and a few hours worth of time spent usually, and that's if you can do it at all. Believe me.. it's not as easy as that comment makes it sound.
