You don’t drop threat though. It’s only temporary in stealth. After you drop stealth you get all your threat back.

I’m fine with it not breaking combat state but it should wipe threat.

Oh yeah I meant that, you drop threat but you don’t lose it permanently.

Problem with the old function for me is that AFAIK this was the only ability-type which could modify your # of threat on the mob’s aggro table.

Considering there is no taunt ability, why have a detaunt? We’re supposed to be able to defend ourselves, not avoid having to do it.

Whats the point of having stealth as a defense if it doesn’t do anything defensive like dropping threat? I thought that was the point.

Carighan.6758:

What would your solution have been? The easiest to me is to not make enemies reset their combat state. You still drop threat. But not combat state.

Is there a different one? All I see is they prefer long ranged attack, and their weapon of CHOICE is a bow. so with this lore logic, a rifle would make more sense than a greatsword, axe. right?

Focus on the nature part. Rangers have a theme of being very natural and druidic.

Bows, swords, axes, torches, and horns all fall into being simple natural weapons.

Rifles are technology, and don’t fit into the rangers theme.

I didn’t know bows were so natural. Is there some mystical bow tree were they all grow from like fruit? Bows are tech just like guns are tech. Bows are made out of wood and metal, just like rifles. I don’t see the difference.
