According to the latest update:
- Steal skill: No longer initiates autoattacks.
Yeah no that still isn’t fixed.
This starts creating huge problems when using the “Hidden Thief” trait; you can’t rely on it to actually stealth you. And in my case, I’m relying on that stealth for initiative and health regen, too.
I’ll grant that I seem to auto-break stealth LESS than before, but not much. Turning off my auto-attack isn’t even a guaranteed fix; sometimes I just happen to go in for the steal, and come out fully revealed. Oh yeah, I may not get more than 0.001 seconds of stealth, but I still do get the full Revealed debuff. So that’s cool.
Posted this in the Thief forums too.
