Everybody read this:

I think this fix gonna affect /concealshot as well.

YAY

I had to re-read that a few times to make sure I wasn't going mad.

This is fantastic news.

If this is really what it sounds like,this makes Conceal Shot a VERY POWERFUL tool. Unfortunately it could move it up into the 'N' category. (I wont use the 'N' word here).

HOORAY.......... for now.

Shhhh Wayne, you'll give them ideas.

As you said if this is what it sounds like it should enable novices to solo alot easier if they use conceal shot.

*Openly weeps with joy*

Whoaa, a fix that really helps us out.

Too bad the downside seems a lot bigger than the advantage - that was pretty much the only way to pull from large groups, so now we'll probably get pasted by the entire lair unless we sit there and plink away with the godawful random pool concealshot.

Depends, I guess. There are a lot of things I can kill with two or three consecutive headshots that I don't even bother taking on because they're social (Humbabas fall into this category now). With this change, I will be able to once again hunt Humbabas for XP (easy kill, 1047 XP per kill), and will be able to farm Corellian Butterfly Hives for Insect Meat, etc.

Overall, I think this will be a good change, and will be most advantageous for low- and mid-level Riflemen.

I don't PvP much... Does conceal shot work on NPCs?

what is broken about concealshot? the BAF'ing?

i don't get it... if they fix that i'll be invincible at pve....

meeuki... without using any specific words here, see my first reply (maybe 3rd post) above. This is one of those things that is "be careful what you ask for, you may just get it.". Something needed to be done since they've turned 95% of the decent MOBs into BAF. But with this change, more danger lies ahead!

ok....

i had a big thing written up about how sad this fix was going to be... but now that i read the actual fix it doesn't sound so bad. i don't think this is going to give us an invincible shot.... i really hope it doesn't.

for those of you who don't know.... concealshot as it stands now is a very very powerful tool. you can kill nearly anything in the game provided you can take it away from the group.

i wouldn't mind surprise shot being immune to BAF, so long as it stays cover and 1 miss.

/Concealshot is agood tool. However its not efficient at all, so they won't change/nerfit.
